The fictional Entourage projects continue to coincidentally (or not) become a reality.
Because everyone, especially Ari Gold (Piven), told us so.
Forget the McConaissance; this was the Chasevolution.

It was such an unbelievable run that Hollywood is doing its best to emulate it.
Let’s examine the evidence.
The Pablo Escobar biopic was a catastrophic failure that ended up going direct to DVD.

Bickering between Chase and the director led to production being halted and never completed.
Also, let’s not ignore the fact that Brolin and Patric share some resemblance.
Well, withMedellinandSmoke Jumpers,he’d done a good job of copyingThe TouristandThe Rum Diary-era Depp.
TheGoodfellasdirector was helming a modern-day take onThe Great Gatsbyand he wanted Chase to play Nick Carraway.
Then, in 2013, Baz Luhrmann adapted F. Scott Fitzgerald’s iconic novel into his own film.
And guess who he got for the title role?
Leonardo DiCaprio, Scorsese’s go-to star.
And guess who played Carraway?
Tobey Maguire, the star ofSpider-Man, which was surpassed at the box office by Chase’sAquaman.
That one was almost too easy.
What a true victory that would be.
