by | September 12th, 2012

Just when you thought it was safe to visit Los Angeles, Doug Ellin has informed Deadline that he's putting the finishing touches on an Entourage feature. This comes almost exactly a year to day the series finale aired. It's still early, as HBO execs have only heard “a very general pitch” thus far; however, Ellin, who created the series with Marky "Mark" Wahlberg, is optimistic: “I’m excited. I feel a lot of positive energy…Everywhere I go, people ask me, 'Where’s the movie?'" Where exactly is he going? Beer shotgunning contests? Protein powders and shakes megastores? Entourage conventions? (Oof, can you imagine the smell of clashing colognes?) Doug explained the movie [...]
