The Press Release
-------------
New HBO celeb series "Entourage"

For Immediate Release

PRODUCTION BEGINS ON NEW HBO COMEDY SERIES ENTOURAGE, A LOOK INSIDE HOLLYWOOD’S CELEBRITY SCENE, WITH DEBUT SET FOR JULY

LOS ANGELES, April 12, 2004 - Production has begun on the new HBO comedy series ENTOURAGE, from executive producer Mark Wahlberg, it was announced today by Carolyn Strauss, president, HBO Entertainment. A look at the life of a young star and his buddies in Hollywood, the eight episodes of the series will debut on the network beginning this July. Wahlberg also makes a cameo appearance in the first episode.

“ENTOURAGE is a hilarious romp through the absurdities of modern-day Hollywood, drawing on the experiences of industry insiders,” said Strauss. “This show will make perfect summertime viewing.” Filming at Hollywood locations, ENTOURAGE tells the story of four longtime buddies from Queens who share the highs and lows of life in the fast lane of Hollywood, where the stakes are higher, and the money and temptations greater than ever before.

Adrian Grenier (“The Adventures of Sebastian Cole”) stars as Vince, a sexy young movie star whose career is just taking off. Slipping easily into stardom, Vince looks to his friends from the neighborhood to share the fun of the ride and keep him grounded. Kevin Connolly (“Antwone Fisher”) plays Eric, who’s learning the rules of Hollywood as he tries to help Vince make the right choices. Kevin Dillon (“The Doors”) plays Vince’s half-brother Drama, whose own acting aspirations have been eclipsed by his success. Jerry Ferrara (“Grounded for Life”) plays Turtle, the least experienced of the group, who’s always up for a good time. Jeremy Piven (“Old School”) plays Ari, Vince’s aggressive, high-powered agent, who clashes with Eric over his client’s decisions.

Guest starring in ENTOURAGE will be Debi Mazar (“The Tuxedo”) as Vince’s publicist Shauna, Samaire Armstrong (“The O.C.”) as Ari’s assistant Emily, and Monica Keena (“Undeclared”) as Vince’s ex-girlfriend Kristen.

In addition to Mark Wahlberg, cameo appearances in ENTOURAGE include Jessica Alba, Luke Wilson, Jimmy Kimmel and Sarah Silverman. The pilot episode of ENTOURAGE is directed by David Frankel (HBO’s “Band of Brothers” and “Sex and the City”) from a script by Doug Ellin (“Kissing a Fool”) and Steve Tompkins (“The Simpsons”). ENTOURAGE is created by Doug Ellin; executive produced by Mark Wahlberg, Stephen Levinson, Doug Ellin and Larry Charles (HBO’s “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” “Seinfeld”).

Looks like I'm the first one to see it. Found a PR (from a few weeks ago no less) that announces The Entourage airs July 18th on HBO (USA) and on the Movie Network/Movie Central (Canada)!

Show is already on the Movie Network site (TMN.CA) schedule. HBO unfortunately seems to only update one month ahead. So no hide nor hair on their site.

Entourage HBO JULY 18 10 P.M.

Three years ago, Mark Wahlberg had an idea for an HBO TV series that followed the hangers-on surrounding a hot young Hollywood star. Seemed promising...until HBO read the script from Doug Ellin (1998's Kissing a Fool). "It was really dark--The Sopranos in Hollywood," says Ellin. "Apparently, it wasn't the best way to go." HBO's suggestion: Lighten up! Now Entourage arrives as a wicked Tinseltown satire, replete with name-dropping (Vince Vaughn gets kicked around in the pilot) and celeb cameos (including Val Kilmer, Jessica Alba, and Wahlberg himself). Adrian Grenier (Drive Me Crazy) plays the up-and-comer Vince; the posse includes Vince's big half brother, a struggling actor named Drama (Kevin Dillon); his freeloading bud Turtle (Jerry Ferrara); and his best friend Eric (Kevin Connolly), whose career advice often irks Vince's agent (Jeremy Piven). Ellin insists Entourage isn't based on Walhberg's life--though the actor does have a pal named Johnny Drama. "Too good to ignore," says Ellin, who's hoping Hollywood can take a joke. "If Vince Vaughn punches me in the face, it won't be a big surprise." --JJ
