'Welcome to the Jungle" is the season 4 premiere of the dramedy television series Entourage.
Plot
Shortly after the events of last season, Vince and the entourage travel to Colombia to begin production on their film Medellin which is now under Billy Walsh's control. While on set, a filmmaker makes a documentary revolving the events of the production and filming stages of the film. Walsh immediately clashes with producer Eric and demands more than is expected, including more extras in a pivotal scene and the collaboration of Academy Award winning writer Stephen Gaghan. Walsh also investigates who is sleeping with the lead young actress who rejected him and threatens to shut down production. Throughout the production, Billy shows signs of incredible stress. Three days prior to shooting, Billy states that the ending needed to be changed and that he would write it. However, he continues to procrastinate and then demands that Eric get Stephen Gaghan to fix it. After a pep talk from Eric, Billy snaps out of his funk and prepares to complete the film with renewed optimism. While preparing notes for Gaghan, Billy proceeds to re-write the movie himself and sends Gaghan home with a check for $275,000.00 for just reading the revised script. Drama also seeks a part in the film and receives a small bit towards the end. The episode ends with the cast and crew successfully filming the critical action sequence of the movie on the last day of production.
