'Entourage' Movie Trailer And Posters: Vinnie Chase And The Boys Are Back

For anyone confused by some of the more famous faces in that trailer, Mark Wahlberg is the basis for the show, a co-creator and long time producer. So him showing up makes sense. Also, Billy Bob Thornton plays a rich movie investor and Haley Joel Osment is his son, tasked with keeping an eye on what Chase and company do with daddy's money. Things do not go well there.

As for the beginning of the trailer, it's the movie within the movie. Here's the poster for Chase's movie, Hyde. Love the Aquaman and Medellin references.

The co-star, of the film within the film, Calvin Harris, tweeted that out, so you can add another cameo to the sure to be massive list.

When Entourage ended, the show left a lot of questions unanswered. Sloan (Emmanuelle Chriqui) was pregnant with Eric's child, Vince was on his way to Paris to get married, Ari accepts a job as the head of the studio (in the series' post credits scene, which all but sealed the deal for the movie) and so much more. I can't wait to see if and how the film finishes those storylines, while also giving fans a story that's worthy of being a movie. What is it about this story that makes it a movie instead of just season 9, episodes 1 through 4? We'll certainly find out more come June 5.

For now though, that trailer had the humor, energy and tone I love from Entourage. It looks great. Here's the teaser poster:
