According to Hollywood sources all of the principal stars of the series, have agreed in principle to appear in the movie, which Ellin will both write and produce.

The signing coup means that the main characters in Entourage- The Movie will remain  were  Adrian Grenier who played Hollywood idol Vincent Chase,  Kevin Dillon who played his brother Johnny “Drama” Chase,  Kevin Connolly who played Eric Murphy, Vincent’s manager and  Jesse Ferrara who played the  Entourage’s driver and gopher” Turtle”.  Also taking a central role will be Jeremy Paven who played the part of the Chase Brothers high-powered agent Ari Gold.

While details of the negotiations obviously remain confidential, between the lines it is understood that Paven was the stumbling block who held up negotiations, showing that in real life as well as in character he knows how to o negotiate the best deal.

Now with the casting problem solved Warner Bros. are hoping to begin production in January.
