'Entourage' Movie: Jeremy Piven Talks Post-Series Film

"Entourage" may be ending after this coming season, but it looks as if Vince Chase and his buddies may have one more big adventure in store.

Jeremy Piven spoke with NY Magazine about his new film, "Angel's Crest," and soon enough, the conversation veered toward a potential future film: a post-series "Entourage" movie.

"Could we do more? Absolutely. But I think that's the perfect way to end it," Piven reasoned. "And people's biggest complaint with me is that there needs to be more show -- it's not long enough. So I think that we're set up pretty nicely for a movie."

A film about the crew from Queens transplanted to glitzy Hollywood has been the subject of speculation since last summer, when HBO announced that the series would be ending and programming exec Michael Lombardo said creator Doug Ellin wanted to put his boys on the big screen.

"[Ellin] clearly wants to write a film but wants to do it if it makes sense for the story," Lombardo said. "We have a long-term relationship with Doug Ellin, and I'm sure you'll soon see another series from him here."

In December, executive producer Mark Wahlberg further stoked the speculation, saying, "We have one last season left on TV and then it would probably take place after the finale. There are places to go. I'm still here all these years later, aren't I? My story didn't end in my 20s."

To all of those who think the show stopped being any good years ago, I must respectfully disagree. I thought the season finale last year, with Vince getting all messed up over a porn star was good drama, and very believable. With his friends all venturing off into their own lives, Vince is left to make a mess of himself, and does. I can't wait to see what they have in store for the boys. I like the fact that the story has evolved and so have the characters.

great show, if you don't like it is because you're from nowhere and lived in a trailer.

Entourage is a great show. But by all means lets wring it dry and milk as much money out of the franchise as possible. Remember Sex and the City. Now a joke with 2 bad movies out there, was once also a great show. And soon we'll be treated to a movie of the show 24 which obviously will change the unique format of the show and ruin any memory of the original show. Geniuses...

Medellin would be a better bet

The show has been unwatchable for about 5 years when Piven's Ari isn't in the scene.

I never found that dude convincing as a supposed A-List leading man.

He's not, but that character is awesome. A niche HBO comedy isn't the hunting grounds for an A-List leading man.

Piven: So are we a go?

Studio rep: Sorry, Jeremy. Focus group findings show an Entourage movie would register a full seven and a half points below Sex and The City among viewers between the ages of 25 to 35. So, no go.

Great... 90 minutes of the same schtick that will be boring and have 1 1/2 laughs.. why havent they cancelled this yet? It jumped the shark years ago.

Fans hint no one cares about an entourage movie.

The show was so past it's prime, I'm not sure if a movie would be interesting. Perhaps a two hour movie of the week type thing, but a big screen movie? That would be like making a "Friends" movie and trying to release it now.

All those hotties on screen for 2 hours??? Yes please....and thank you... I'm not saying it'll be good, but It'll be fun to watch!

I'd rather they just make that damn "Aquaman" movie.

Of course there will be a movie. Unless one of them gets too greedy.
