A number of stars from HBO’s hit sequence “Entourage” have expressed a deep curiosity in reviving the sequence, largely because of a remark from actor Mark Wahlberg on Saturday.
For these of you who could not keep in mind, “Entourage” was the epic HBO sequence chronicling the lifetime of Hollywood up-and-comer Vincent Chase (Adrian Grenier), and was primarily based on Wahlberg’s actual experiences in leisure. Rumors of “Entourage’s” return began after Wahlberg advised PageSix on Saturday that he would “positively help it.”
Shortly after Wahlberg’s feedback made headlines, the present’s unique solid joined in with its help. Three of the present’s main males, Doug Ellin, Kevin Connolly, and Kevin Dillon, host a present referred to as “Victory the Podcast.” The present’s Instagram web page shared a screenshot of 1 such headline, below which Dillon commented “let’s f*cking do it!”
Anybody with a humorousness and style desires “Entourage” again on our screens. It’s a type of reveals that appears to by no means age, and each time you watch it, it feels such as you’re seeing one thing you didn’t see the primary time.
However would “Entourage” work in 2023? Our sociopolitical local weather is fairly depressing proper now, and most reveals solely get made after they loop in a complete lot of woke rubbish. Even HBO performed into various woke tropes of their new hit sequence “The Final Of Us.” It didn’t take away from the story a lot, however the identical vibe simply wouldn’t work for “Entourage.” The truth is, it might in all probability break the present ceaselessly.
There’s, nevertheless, an answer. Since “Entourage” advised an sincere story of the leisure trade when it was first launched, why not inform an sincere one now? Why not present how executives, showrunners, actual folks concerned with manufacturing don’t give a crap about variety, fairness, the #MeToo motion, or any of that stuff? They simply say they do as a result of they suppose it’ll make them more cash.
Think about juxtaposing the glitz of so-called elites with their hypocrisies. How nice it might be for these of us who vomit on the fable of glamor in Los Angeles to see its reality writ massive? These stars may present as much as the Oscars in a five-figure swimsuit, however they drive previous doped out teenage tweakers, days away from dying on the Stroll of Fame from their untreated drug addictions and psychological well being points.
Wahlberg himself bailed on Los Angeles as a result of the place is a freaking mess, so why not make that the focus, and make it unhappy and humorous like the unique present? (RELATED: REPORT: The Subsequent ‘Yellowstone’ Prequel Introduced By Paramount Govt)
Apart from calling out the bulls*it of LA, I might like to see Vincent Chase present up on the set of a present styled on “Yellowstone,” solely to get his ass handed to him by a Taylor Sheridan-inspired showrunner. That may simply be nice, and humbling as heck to all the gorgeous boys who’re nonetheless hoping for his or her shot at stardom from that godless city.
Actually, the storyline potential is myriad for an “Entourage” reboot, and I feel if it was performed nicely, it might lastly put an finish to the cringe spewed by celebrities who suppose they know the actual world higher than these of us residing in it. And it might give us one thing to look at on a Sunday night time whereas we await the actual “Yellowstone” to return.
