While HBO is still contemplating whether or not to do a feature film based on their hit series Rome, the game seems to be afoot for Entourage. Even though the series is far from over, executive producer Mark Wahlberg seems to be indicating that this is where the series will head to, when it finally wraps up.
At the premiere of the movie The Lovely Bones, Wahlberg was asked if he wanted to push the network for a movie, and he replied saying: “Quite possibly, yes. We still have a couple more seasons to do, but yeah. We would like to follow in the ‘Sex and the City’ footsteps and do a movie. People have always complained that the episodes are too short. And that the seasons are not long enough, and they want more.”
“It is not out of the realm of possibility,” an HBO spokeswoman said about the prospect of an Entourage movie. “Right now, the creators are concentrating on the new season.”
Entourage was recently picked for its seventh season and reportedly has two more seasons to go before calling it quits, so with a movie prospect possibly in the works it could set up quite the cliffhanger. Wahlberg, however is tight-lipped about the direction the series will take, “I cannot tell you which story lines we would leave unresolved. I am sworn to secrecy. There are so many different directions to go.”
The show takes a quasi-satirical inside look at the world of show business and is presented in a fake documentary format. The show premiered on July 18, 2004 and has featured several A-list celebrities who appeared as themselves on the show.
