In an interview with GQ released yesterday, actor/producer Mark Wahlberg promoted his upcoming action thriller Contraband and (luckily for us) dropped a few surprise nuggets about his two HBO series that recently concluded. Wahlberg confirmed that he and series creator Doug Ellin are in the process of cooking up a story for the big screen. He revealed that making an Entourage movie was always in the works because “people were complaining that episodes were too short.” What can we expect when Vince, Drama, Turtle, and E return once more? Wahlberg said, “I think a 90-minute movie of sheer craziness—the guys getting back to just being about the guys, you know? Lose the ladies. Go crazy. Give people what they want.” And the question that’s surely on your mind: when can we expect it? Wahlberg says he’s waiting on Ellin to write the script. Currently Ellin is working on his next HBO series 40 starring Ed Burns, so perhaps he’ll pick up where the Entourage series finale left off after 40 wraps.

Now get this. GQ mentioned Wahlberg’s latest HBO creation How To Make It In America, and instead of harping on its failure to reach a broad audience (which led to its cancellation last month) he talked about its potential future. “Well, the wheels are always turning and we’ve talked to the networks and we may pair it up with another network. You know, you can only have so many shows on the air [at HBO], but we’re talking about putting it elsewhere. One of the great things is also that we have a couple of things that are really geared toward guys that we’ve been developing that [HBO] feels are really close to going.” Color me intrigued. However, I wouldn’t allow yourself to get too excited just yet. Transitioning a show from one network to another is not so common these days. It is assuring to know, though, that Wahlberg and likely the entire creative team behind How To Make It is aware of the series’ cult fanbase and that they’re attempting to resurrect the show before the dust settles. Ya know I be keeping my ear to the ground with this one.
