We reported last time that the release date of the "Entourage" movie was moved a week earlier. Instead of premiering on June 12, the film will be shown on June 5. As much as we wanted to see the film adaptation of the popular HBO series on the big screen this year, we still need to wait approximately seven months before we can see the adventures of Vinnie Chase and the rest of the boys.
One of the main characters of "Entourage" is played by Adrian Grenier and he actually gained fame because of his role in the comedy series. However, not many of us know that he initially turned down the role of Vincent Chase. I'm sure some of you were surprised to hear that so let's find out why the actor almost ditched that character.
Adrian Grenier told the Daily Beast, "When I first read the script, I declined to audition. I said, 'This is misogynistic, it's base, it's immature, and superficial. Pass.' I was ultimately convinced otherwise, and I'm very glad that I was."
It's quite surprising to hear that from one of the stars of the "Entourage" movie since they should be promoting the film and not bashing it. Don't worry because the 38-year old actor also had some nice things to say about the HBO series.
He said, "I think the reason why the show lasted so long, is that it's about brotherhood and friendship. It's about the values that transcend all of that stuff and actually allow them to survive all that glitz and glamour."
There were rumors that Adrian Grenier was the cause of the delay of the "Entourage" movie. The actor tried to clear things out and said, "People are looking for controversy, and they'll find it if they have to. You negotiate, and until the deal is done, there is no movie."
Money is also a factor when it comes to negotiation and Grenier answered that issue. He said, "Our contracts on the show were one thing and then after that there were no contracts, so some players wanted to manipulate that fact. But we decided as a team to stick together, and stand united."
It's a good thing that everything went well or else there won't be any "Entourage" movie. Who's your favorite character in the comedy series?
