The boys of Hollywood are back as the cast of "Entourage" reunites on the set for the spin-off film. The Hollywood Reporter reveals that filming of the movie for the HBO hit began on Thursday, January 16.
As proof, the show's creator and executive producer Doug Ellin and some of the cast members posted pictures on their Instagram accounts while they were getting ready for filming.
Fans of the television-hit series rejoiced as the cast and crew finally managed to break through the walls of contract deals that almost prevented the spin-off movie from happening.
As previously reported by THR, Jeremy Piven, who plays the ruthless Ari Gold, signed a backened compensation deal for the movie that left his co-stars demanding for equal pay. Due to the individual contract disputes, production for the movie was derailed and delayed.
In a video posted by TMZ, when asked when the movie will begin filming, Mark Wahlberg, an executive producer of the series, answered, "As soon as them guys stop being so greedy."
Of course, no one can probably blame the cast of "Entourage" for demanding equal compensation since during the start of the series, Piven was given a two-year contract and paid almost a hundred thousand dollars for each episode while Vinnie Chase and his crew settled for a five-year contract and received a significantly lower pay.
Fortunately, the boys hugged it out and settled on a more fair deal for the sake of the movie. And, as if that's not good news enough, rumors are circulating that Kate Upton will be joining the cast in the upcoming film.
In an article by The Wrap, the swimsuit model is being considered for a female lead, although formal negotiations have not yet materialized between Upton and Warner Brothers, the studio involved with the "Entourage" movie.
