Billy Bob Thornton negotiates with Entourage makers for the role of a billionaire cowboy

Bad Santa’s Willie T. Stokes, Billy Bob Thornton, is in the negotiation stage for a role in Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc.’ upcoming big screen project, Entourage. If the deal is finalised, Billy will be playing a billionaire cowboy-turned-film sponsor.

Billy’s character sends his twenty-something son to keenly observe the ongoing activities on the set of the latest project which he’s financing and interestingly it’s the big-budget Dracula movie. The film adaptation of the hit series on HBO will have the original stars like Adrian Grenier, Kevin Connolly, Jerry Ferrera, Kevin Dillon and Jeremy Piven. Entourage is currently under production in L.A. and is expected to release sometime in 2015.
