Entourage Season 8, Episode 8 – The End 808

BEVERLY HILLS, California — Vince is flipside from rehab as well as raring to go for a innovative development. Ari is separated from his wife and trying to win her back. E is running his own management company, as well as Drama is bombardment an vigorous string. Turtle has his Tequila line and is opening a new selling scheme.

So far, it sound like any other spell of associates, Doug Ellin and Mark Wahlberg’s meta comedy-drama about a growing A-list motion picture star in today’s Hollywood.

Except that, of course, this season of associates — the HBO series’ eighth — is officially the last.

Filming has previously completed, and this late summer afternoon was one of the last opportunities the original players would have to get in concert and kick back, reminisce about the not-too-distant past and share the mood of those final few moment with an appreciative audience that stayed with Entourage through thick and thin ever since that July, 2004 day when viewers were first introduced to Adrian Grenier’s up-and-coming film star Vincent Chase and his posse of friends, hangers-on and wannabe players.

Grenier, Kevin Connolly, Jerry Ferrara, Kevin Dillon and three-time Emmy winner Jeremy Piven were in a mellow, relaxed mood as they kicked back with Ellin and Wahlberg, to talk about old times and lay the path for the future.

An Entourage feature film now looks likely, after Wahlberg told his audience he’ll finance a film from his own pocket, if it comes to that. Although Wahlberg played a strictly behind-the-scenes role with Entourage — the series was based loosely on his own life as a rising film star — it’s a project that’s always been close to his heart. And now Entourage is coming to an end, a jump from the small screen to the silver screen seems only natural.That’s not to say that the TV version of Entourage won’t have a proper sendoff, though, when the final episode airs, Ellin promised.

“Mark and I sit downstairs at the opening of the year, earlier than I ongoing writing, to speak about what kind of vibe we sought after for the final show,” Ellin said. “What was important to me, more than anything, was that we leave in such a way that the meeting goes, ‘We loved lynching out with these guys, and we’ll overlook them.’ It wasn’t about leave-taking it unlimited; it wasn’t about conclusion. It was really about just finding the minute, that certain vibe, where people go, ‘You know what, I had a really good run with these guys.’

“I feel there’s in all probability more to tell, but we had a great run. There are always moments when you go, ‘Oh, it would’ve be nice to get this in or that in,’ but I be aware of pretty good boater we proficient to set out what we wanted to do. It went much longer than I think any of us anticipated.”

Grenie said he never thinking he’d get mawkish over a bromance, but Entourage’s finish was harsh to take. It has been an indelible part of their lives for eight years.

“We’ve used up countless hours, weeks, creating impressive we are all very, very proud of,” Grenier said. “And it’s not only sad to say goodbye to every one other, but also what we’ve created. We are all very proud of it, and we know it is going to have a long-lasting impact. We’ll always be related to each other, on some level.”

Ferrara said the finish is bittersweet.

“It change daily, in point of fact,” he said. “There are a few days when there’s the excitement of starting new clothes and going in a different track and then, the very next day, I reflect back and be in awe if it’s ever going to be like that again. We made some lifelong friendships and I think that, more than whatever thing, is probably the greatest thing I will take out of it.”

“It’s been hard,” Connolly added. “From the foundation of the season, we face the fact that this is the last time of year and then, all of a sudden, it was the last installment, and the last week, and the last day. We’ve said this a bunch of times, but as we sit right here now, this is literally the last time we will all be sitting with each other as a TV show, despite of what happen with a movie. So, yes, it’s bittersweet. It’s been a hell of a lope, and it’s certainly only one of its kind. I just don’t know — I don’t want to start weeping. So I’ll just stop here.”

“This term feels like our best,” Piven said, “and it’s so gratifying to close this way. This character that I’ve been playing for eight years has been such a thoughtful character and takes up so much oxygen in the room, that to humanize him in the way he’s going to be shown this season is such a gift I was given. I don’t know if I earned it, but it sure has be an amazing ride.”

Highlight moments vary from actor to actor, but it may be hard to top Dillon’s fondest recollection.

“There was the Cannes episode that we did, of track,” Dillon said. “But I would say shagging a accumulator in a rabbit outfit was perhaps the hit the highest point for me.”
