Connolly 'wants to direct Entourage film'

Kevin Connolly has revealed that he would like to direct the planned movie adaptation of Entourage.

The actor, who plays Eric, has already directed an episode of the HBO show and admitted that he wants to be considered for the film.

According to WENN, he said: "I'm throwing my hat into the ring. I want to be considered. I want to direct the movie."

He also cited the recent Sex and the City adaptations as inspiration, saying: "I tell you, I never thought I'd be so happy to see Sex and the City as a movie. When that movie came out and it did well, it opened the door for us, but I definitely want to make a movie. I'm starting this rumour that I'm the frontrunner to direct."

The show is expected to end after its eighth season, due to air next year.
