'Friends' movie within next 18 months?


Recommended Posts

Yeah, I didn't like Friends much either. I just never got the humor, or why it was so popular. Same with Seinfeld (I know, everyone loved that show, ugh) and a couple other more popular shows. Sex and the City comes to mind as well :|

But hey, I don't mind SEEING a Friends movie, as long as it actually has a plot, and isn't a 2 hour complainathon or just a dumb story line that continues for the entire length. Bleh.

I'd always thought there was plans for the show to do Thanksgiving specials each year or so. I can't imagine what kind of plot they could use to extend the show into a movie, but who knows it might work. Any chance to see more of Jennifer Aniston on screen is never a waste of time.

I think that they have aged too much since Friends was on the actual TV lineup. They might be ok, but it's been a pretty significant amount of time. Although, even if they have aged, I'll most likely watch it and be much more excited than the Sex & The City Movie for sure, how gay. IMO watching that would be worse than watching Gigli The Musical...

I wouldn't go see a Friends movie if someone paid me to..... that show just seemed so redundant to me.... the whole on again off again relationship with Rachel and whatshisname was not even funny after a while. I got sick of this show really fast.

I never saw the point of a Sex and the City Movie. Never bothered watching it.

Saw the trailer at both The Incredible Hulk and Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, and I just sat there thinking....WHAT??

A movie of Friends won't have a plot either, but as long as Joey is his former self, I might give it a go.

Lisa Kudrow looks OOOLLLDDD.

I thought the same about sex and the city movie... and it gets killed on IMDB 5.3/10 but somehow it made quite a bit of money for an oversized tv episode, I'm sure this triggered the rumours regarding friends movie.

Anyway! if they plan on making this, they should make it a horror movie where a deranged fan slowly killing all the actors as they make the movie friends.

There are no plans for a rumoured big-screen version of Friends, film studio Warner Bros has told the BBC.

Since the success of the Sex and the City movie, there has been constant speculation that the US sitcom's six stars had agreed to their own film.

One UK press report even suggested that the first scenes would be shot within the next 18 months.

However, Warner Bros' director of publicity in the UK, Jayne Trotman, said there was "no truth in the story".

Ever since the quipping sextet - Jennifer Aniston, Courtney Cox Arquette, Lisa Kudrow, David Schwimmer, Matthew Perry and Matt LeBlanc - parted ways four years ago there have been rumours of a reunion.

'Right circumstances'

Earlier this week, an unnamed source was quoted as saying: "Jennifer, Courtney and the rest of cast are keen to reprise their roles, under the right circumstances.

"The success of Sex and the City has really got their wheels spinning about how a Friends film could be just as big, if done right."

But Cox Arquette's publicist, John Fogelman, told the BBC he did not know of any plans for a film.

Matthew Perry's spokesperson, Lisa Kasteler, added: "Nothing is happening in this regard, so the rumour is false."

The final episode of Friends drew a US audience of 52.5m, while 8.6m viewers watched it in the UK.

The movie version of Sex and the City took $55.7m (?28.3m) in its opening weekend at the US box office - a record for an R-rated comedy.

Thats a shame, why is it always "when its right for them", what about what the fans want, if it wasnt for the fans that watched friends for 10 years they might not be as big as they are now. If the fans want a film give it to them.

Slightly off-topic for those who like Friends and want more - watch How I Met Your Mother. It was made by the same people and is very similar to Friends. I really enjoy the show, and has replaced by urges for Friends every now and then.

Anyways, I don't think a movie would do the show Friends any favours but just a quick laugh might be just worth it.

Yeah as soon as I saw HIMYM I knew it was Friends v2. Barney is sooo Joey.

I hope that in the future this movies becomes though. :)

I tried to watch it but it was absolutely unbearable - tedious, poorly acted, poorly written and overly clich?d. However, I was quite surprised to find Two And A Half Men to be brilliant. I'd caught the occasional episode and thought it was just your typical over-the-top US comedy but when I gave it a chance I actually loved it.

NEway, I'd rather they didn't bring back Friends. They wrapped it up when they finally finished it but even then they'd dragged it on for at least a season or two too long - the characters had become tired clich?s and it had lost the chemistry that made it so special.

    • Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays.

    • I've got a SoundBlasterX G6 that I use in my streaming setup. Sounds great to me and I've had zero issues with the ancient software package so far in Win11. That G6 has 7.1, Dolby, fully working SPDIF and since it's a USB device it's outside of my rig so I don't have to worry about EMF distortion. Looks like for now this is a pass for me as I think I have better hardware....
    • How do you connect 5.1 Speakers to this thing?
    • I agree with both of you... It's absolutely imperative that science is completely based on actual proven facts and hard evidence and is not considered dogmatic in any way. Science is not a religion and it will never be, and that's exactly how it's supposed to be.
