The Movie's blog

The "Sex and the City" movie earned $415 million on $65 million budget, causing studios to look at other popular shows to turn into feature films. One such show is "Friends." Back in December, Jennifer Aniston told People magazine that she would love to make a "Friends" movie and warned executives to hurry up before the entire cast gets too old. Two months later she told Ellen Degeneres that she would never reprise her role as Rachel is a big screen version of the show.

Courtney CoxEver since "Friends" ended in 2004, fans have been waiting impatiently for the reunion of the six star actors. Entertainment Weekly seems to know that the reunion will take place in the new season of Cox' series "Cougar Town". In this series, she plays a mother in her 40s, raising a 17 year old. Jennifer Aniston, Lisa Kudrow, Matthew Perry, Matt Leblanc and David Schwimmer will bring her a visit in one episode. Cougar town can be watched on ABC.

While it’s unlikely that the cast of popular 90s comedy “Friends” will be making a get-together soon, you can get a glimpse of its former glory on the second season of Lisa Kudrow’s online series “Web Therapy.”  Playing an ambitious and occasionally brusque therapist named Fiona Wallice, Kudrow offers advice via her web cam to Courtney Cox-Arquette, who’s lost her psychic abilities.

Jennifer Aniston admitted she would do a ‘Friends’ reunion during a chat with Ellen DeGeneres on Friday (Febraury 6), after the host had the hit show’s set reconstructed as part of Aniston’s upcoming 40th birthday celebrations. Watch the video!

2008/12/17 - Former FRIENDS star JENNIFER ANISTON is urging studio bosses to "hurry up" and make a movie version of the show before the cast are all "geriatrics".

2008/07/29 - What about that Friends movie? Probably another bunch of rumours, although some people try to keep their hopes up by posting remarks on the internet regarding the registered domain name friendsthemovie.com. Even Wikipedia says it might be a reason why Friends the Movie is definitely coming...
But being a network admin, I digged deeper than the average webmaster and found out that friendsthemovie.com was not registered under the name of Warner Brothers.

Friends the movie might be fun, but it will never compete with the appeal of Sex and the CityShane Watson I was flicking through the ads in American Vogue, as you do, and suddenly, there was Jennifer Aniston, lying on a jetty in wellington boots and jeans, lending her wholesome image to a brand of bottled water. Oh, don’t you miss Jennifer? I don’t mean pinched Jennifer in the passenger seat of a truck, with yet another pretty-boy heartbreaker at the wheel. I mean the real Jennifer, with the smart one-liners and the signature haircut. I mean Rachel. And Chandler. And Phoebe and Joey and the rest of the Friends gang.

The surprising success of "Sex and the City" (which has made just less than $150 million since its release in May) has ignited a spark under fellow television stars, encouraging them to follow suit. Does anyone have the courage to take on Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha at the box office? Apparently our favorite Central Perk customers do. Jennifer Aniston, David Schwimmer, Courteney Cox-Arquette, Matthew Perry, Lisa Kudrow and Matt LeBlanc all plan to reprise their roles in a silver-screen version of the hit sitcom "Friends" within the next 18 months.
