'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.

    • I'm so conflicted with the Google Search AI summaries. On one hand I don't like how it's harming smaller websites by greatly reducing traffic which will harm us all in the long run but on the other hand those AI summaries often give me the information I'm after. I have never once clicked on 'show me more' though and never will.
    • Not a single company as small or large it may be is obligated to subsidize its products and sell them at a loss. Your way of thinking is socialist and as a West German with a German brother state but impoverished by state dictatorship and a socialist command economy situated to the East i can tell you - this kind of thinking very quickly leads to products not being produced anymore at all.
    • Apple reportedly has a second-generation iPhone Fold planned for 2027 by Hamid Ganji The iPhone Fold is one of the most anticipated tech products expected to debut this fall. It will be Apple’s first foldable iPhone, ushering in a new product category for the company. While the first generation has yet to hit the shelves, a new leak suggests Apple has already begun work on its successor. Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station claims that the second-generation iPhone Fold has already been confirmed, meaning Apple could launch a successor in fall 2027. The foldable iPhone is also reportedly referred to as the “iPhone Ultra,” though it remains unclear whether Apple will ultimately choose that branding, especially as Samsung is rumored to rename the Galaxy Z Fold 8 as the Galaxy Z Fold Ultra this year. The leaker also claims that the second-generation foldable will feature a wider folding display while reusing the same screen found in the first generation. Apple’s first foldable iPhone is expected to feature a 7.8-inch inner display and a 5.3-inch outer screen in a passport-style form factor. It has already been reported that Apple plans to change its iPhone release cycle in 2026 to spread launches throughout the year. Under this strategy, the iPhone Fold is expected to debut this fall alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. The standard iPhone 18 and iPhone Air 2 are expected to arrive later in 2026 or in early 2027. Speaking of the iPhone Air, Digital Chat Station says Apple remains undecided about a third-generation model. The company is reportedly waiting to see how the iPhone Air 2 performs in the market, and if sales disappoint, a successor may never materialize. As we reported this week, the iPhone Air has not been scrapped from Apple’s plans. The second-generation model is reportedly scheduled for spring 2027 and could introduce upgrades such as an additional rear camera for ultrawide photography and improved battery life.
    • ahh yes the good old your opinion differs from mine so you are therefore insane lol destiny 1 had no agenda pushing and was a massive success of a game, if you clearly look online the team for some reason thought they had too many men on the team and went on a woman and dei recruitment drive and we all know how destiny 2 performed from then on in
    • The limited imaginations and business acumen of non-dominant players is simply that: the abject lack of creative business acumen. Businesses often want to operate in a financially-rewarding marketplace (free market economics) and/or exit/cash-out at maximal financial recompense. Money is their incentive; regulations are both their obstacles and their tools; politics is their means of influencing the marketplace. Google, in this story's example, is crying that AWS and Azure are "too dominant" -- cuz Google Cloud is not printing as much money as Alphabet wants (although it is still dramatically more than they actually need). The EU DMA should truly follow-the-money and treat the EU as its own sovereign nation in order to protect European market players: Domestic entities are exempt from market-influence regulations until absolute monopoly is achieved; Foreign (non-EU/non-Euro) entities are all regulated via stricter DMA measures whereby regulated partnership with independent domestic entity becomes the only way for foreign entities to 'tip the scale' for favorable financial remunerations. Basically create a dual-track aligning with China's foreign investment models. In my eyes, this is the only way to properly protect the European marketplace beyond the current dot-com/ai-bubble/social-media crazes.
