I have the byline for this revival: Guys trying to be dudes (Entourage is one of my favorite shows ever...)
Would be awesome to see Entourage come back
This plot has literally already happened we have seen the scene where he’s been read out all his nasty comments
Ari being exposed was a major plot point of one of the later seasons. It’s why he couldn’t get an nfl team

Exactly haha this is exactly the same
Turtle turning into the guy from How High is hilarious not gonna lie
Only two changes. Turtle is still alive and he became a billionaire off that Tequila company and is now trying to buy the Lakers or something and AI threatens Vince’s career somehow
That shit was vivid af!
Entourage is one of my favorite shows. This reboot idea put forward is just not good in any way. The Me Too thing with Ari is a day late and a dollar short idea, might have been ok in 2020. The E idea was blah, Drama idea was solid (the only solid idea), Turtle idea is poor at best. The Vince needing to fire Ari has happened before in the show. C- idea with a few ok ideas. Overall story arc is a D.
It was already a storyline, it was the reason Ari couldn’t own the NFL team in LA. These aren’t real fans lol

did you missed the part where he describes every character's new arc? it wasn't just about Ari
Great idea! 😂
As a long time Entourage fan holy shit this is by far one of the greatest things I've ever heard what a pitch 😂

So everyone that hated entourage can cackle at the mean spiritedness of it all
i literally snorted when he mentioned what happens to Turtle.
He sounds EXACTLY like Eric Andre
Turtle is the most successful friend, he lost 50 lbs and became the normal friend. He would do some gummies thats it.
I would go with a different take with Ari. The reason why is we already saw something similar with his storyline in the NFL and his rival. I would take the reboot starting off with Ari and Lloyd back and that Hollywood is suffering from the public due to all the movies and shows are making money outside the states so it's up to Ari as studio to deal with that and the general audience picking streaming movies instead of going in to the theaters. I want the direction in the golden age of Hollywood is changing along with the old guard trying to adjust in this new environment while it stresses out Ari lol
I LOVE THIS IDEA!!!!!
This is so fucking funny. It got a little wacky. No turtle or Ari jump, but it’s unreal. Johnny Drama is unreal
PLEASE!!!!
I want to watch this
E getting punked by a bunch of tik tokkers is hilarious 😂😂😂😂
Me too died a few years ago. Guess you guys missed the memo.😂
Entourage reboot is necessary but not this version. The premise started off fine but then you lost me at Turtle is going to be a ghost in every episode and then it kept getting worse.
Holy shit this was fantastic 🤣🤣🤣 poor Ari and Turtle 😔

That was funny?
The show ran its course and was done.
Drama having an ultra-conservative, pro-Trump podcast just for the money is so on point…thought that would be the funniest part…until Cord unveiled the “oh yeah!” ending…that is genius..😂😂

Since I am the 63rd to comment and 2 weeks late I assume this was said already, but I hope this makes its way to Doug Ellin et al.
How bout just a Ari spinoff?? His real life character owns the WWE & UFC now.....
off the bat Pivens has been accused in real life so it would not be in his best interest to not do this plotline lol.

would be better to just reboot it. No more old cast.
I know you're playing it for laughs, but this is a horrible idea. Entourage was always aspirational, escapist fun. This take doesn't sound like fun at all. This sounds like another modern hollywood 'make all the white male characters be deadbeat losers and trash their legacies' reboot. Ari's wife left him? committing suicide? That's not Arl. He was lovable despite his flaws, he loved his wife and never cheated on her. The audience doesn't want to see him destroyed. They want to see him fighting back. Drama giving up acting? It was never about the money for Drama. Trump podcast? really? Politics was never a part of Entourage, no need to bring that in, it's just lazy writing. E managing tik tok stars? That's not E at all. You skim the surface without understanding who these people really were, (or why the audience loves them) . You're just shoehorning in modern references and thinking that's a good idea. It isn't. if the characters don't react in the way we expect then you end up with disney star wars. No wonder no one went for your pitch. I wouldn't trust ANYONE but Doug Ellin, Ali Musika, Larry Charles, Rob Weiss, to continue the story. They could make a great show. Especially if they leave out all the focus groups, committees etc. and just let them get on with it. Do it now while all the principals are stil around.
I’ve been on KZread for 15yrs. This is my first ever comment. MAKE THIS HAPPEN. Thanks you
“Ari’s getting me too’d”. I fucking knew it was going there smfh 😂 what’s the point of wanting to make this other than mocking the original and being non stop mean spirited? I hope the entourage guys respond to this and eviscerate this

Drama having a maga podcast is gold lmao
Worst reboot idea ever.🤦♂️
This is really really bad and a waste of time, shame that Simmons must listen to these bs because of the failing Ringer company policies
Simmons is still great but the Ringer employees gotta go, you cannot work because politics or racial quotas, you should work only of you’re good and we don’t have to listen to their boring contents
