No release date or production start has been announced, but series producer Mark Wahlberg tells MTV he hopes filming starts this summer.

Entourage ran for 8 seasons between 2004-2011.

In an exclusive with MTV, Wahlberg says he always saw the show making the leap to the big screen.

“I mean, we always felt like it was a movie, but we had to just make these 30-minute episodes. That was one of the one of the frustrating things… I think its story and its characters were a world people really missed and really enjoyed.”

And if Ellin asks him to do a cameo, Wahlberg is more than happy to oblige.

“You know me, man. If they want me, I’m in.”

As we all know, TV-to-film translations aren’t always a slam dunk. For every Miami Vice, there’s a Sex and the City 2.
