Adrian Grenier is wearing Prada

Adrian Grenier, star of HBO’s "Entourage" – hey, what a great show that is, I finally caught the first few episodes last night! – has snagged himself a plum movie gig, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Grenier, whose film credits include "Drive Me Crazy" and "Harvard Man", is suiting up for the world of high fashion in Fox 2000’s "The Devil Wears Prada."

The deal marks Grenier’s first studio film role since his breakout performance on HBO’s "Entourage," in which he plays movie star and "Aquaman" topliner Vincent Chase.

Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep and Emily Blunt already have boarded the adaptation of Lauren Weisberger’s best-seller, which is set at a cutthroat fashion magazine in Manhattan. Hathaway will play the assistant of a nightmare boss (Streep).

Grenier has signed on to play Nate, the love interest of Hathaway’s character, in the movie, which begins shooting in the big apple next Monday.

Meantime, Variety adds that Simon Baker will play the lead role in the film.
