Whether you’re a curious newcomer or diehard fan, chances are the upcoming Entourage movie has managed to fly across your radar in some shape or fashion. Over the course of eight seasons, HBO delivered us a worthy depiction of brotherhood, camaraderie and perseverance. It just so happened to be set underneath the vice-laden lights of Hollywood, replete with enough sex, drugs and rock ‘n roll to feel the void. The characters were so true-to-life, it was only right that the boys returned to the silver screen to keep the story going.

Hip-Hop Wired was extremely fortuitous to get an extended invitation from Warner Bros. to shadow the Entourage movie’s set for a day. We indulged in the magic of the crew’s filmmaking process, who handily transformed a lavish pad in Palos Verdes into a Malibu beach house. Additionally, were also able to interview the time-tested cast of Kevin Connolly, Adrian Grenier, Kevin Dillon and Jerry Ferrara.

You may best know them as E, Vince, Drama and Turtle, respectively. Allow them to tell you why you should be present in theaters come June 3rd when the Entourage movie is officially unveiled.

Since the show left off, where have you guys been with your individual characters?

Adrian Grenier: Remarkably…it was like riding a bike. When we first started shooting down in Miami, I think we were all a little nervous, especially with the time away. But as soon as they yelled “Action!” we were right back in there. You really don’t need to relearn how to have a family reunion.

Jerry Ferrara: [My weight loss] is still a thing [Laughs]. It did kind of start a couple of years ago around Season 7 or 8. I think Doug’s mad at me because we had to write new jokes. There were several reasons why I got into shape and in a weird way, it added to the evolution of the character. But by no means was it for the role.

Kevin Dillon: It’s good to be back. I just relished in this character so much. You know how it is being Drama. He never gets what he deserves–in his opinion. He’s just so kooky and he’s got so many flaws. I feel like it’s easy for everyone [to get back into the swing of things]. We know our characters and we’re not on the set trying to figure out who we are.

Kevin Connolly: It’s something that we have talked about over the years. There’s two trains of thought where you kind of want to put it behind you but these characters have so good to all of us, that you don’t want to put it behind you. I can live with people screaming ‘E!’ when I walk into a restaurant [Laughs]. Of course you want to move on do other things as an actor but as long as people will have us and allow us to play these characters, I’m sure everyone would agree we would love to continue.
