"Entourage"


The title sequence of "Entourage" (Warner Bros, 2015) gives us quick looks at many theatre marquees redone with names of performers. And a few untouched marquees as well. Doug Ellin directed this spinoff of the TV show that stars Kevin Dillon, Jeremy Piven, Adrian Grenier and Kevin Connolly plus many other performers doing cameos.



At the Broadway Bar with, almost, a look at the Orpheum next door. 



A noirish look south from 8th with the Tower on the left. The marquee was advertising a show promoted by Live Nation. The Rialto and Orpheum are beyond. 



A quick swing by the Crest on Westwood Blvd. south of Wilshire.  



Back on Broadway for a better look at the Orpheum. 



A very quick glimpse of the Vista. 



And, most touching of all, a tribute at the Los Angeles to Jose Huizar in happier days. The marquee copy was celebrating the 7th anniversary of his Bringing Back Broadway initiative.

See the Los Angeles Theatres site for detailed information about the Crest, Los Angeles, Orpheum, Pantages, Tower and Vista theatres.

Thanks to Mike Hume for taking note of the title sequence. Head to his Historic Theatre Photography site to check up on his explorations. He also has pages about many of the theatres that we see in "Entourage." He notes that for him the zippy title sequence was the most interesting part of the movie.
