Is the ‘Friends’ movie really happening?

Now that the big-screen adaptation of “Sex and the City” has proven to be a box office hit, it’s time for other TV series to make the jump to the feature film format. Although none (!) of this is confirmed, the Daily Mail reports “Friends” may be the next show to hit the big screen. Apparently, Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Matthew Perry, Matt LeBlanc, Lisa Kudrow and David Schwimmer are eager to reprise their roles from the successful TV series.
The Daily Mail article quotes a source as saying “'Timing and the script are really important, but now that Courteney and Jen both have production companies, they can potentially get very involved in those decisions.”
I have to admit I never was a huge fan of the show, but with the right script, this big-screen version could have some potential. If it does ever happen, box office success is guaranteed.
Again, nobody knows at this stage whether this is just a silly rumor, but we’ll keep you updated as soon as we know more. Stay tuned.
By the way, do you think the cast of “Friends” should reunite for another round? What other TV series do you think have the potential to hit the big screen?

I so hope they do make a movie, because Friends is my fav TV show and I would go to it like 4 times before it was out of theaters. Then I would buy the collector's edition when it came out on DVD. :)
I also think they should make a Gilmore Girls movie, because it is my 2nd fav TV show.
I TOTALLY AGREE!!!!!!!! I LOVE FRIENDS!!! GILMORE GIRLS TOO!!!
MAKE THE MOVIE!!!!
I really hope a Friends movie is created. I also hope that all of the Friends children are cast in a "Children of Friends" TV series.
they should do another 10 years of friends series rather than just a movie..b'coz we wud love to see them for a more longer time than just for two hours
i think friends should get back for another round
and hopefully a movie i have all ten seasons and want another ten :):):):D
i cried when i saw the last episode of friends. i want more!!! i hope they make the movie but also do another couple of seasons!
I really hope that they do make a f.r.i.e.n.d.s movie coz it would be so cool. 10 more seasons would be really good too.
PLLLEEEEASSSEEE!!!! MAKE A MOVIE ABOUT FRIENDS!! OR A EPISOD MORE!!! WE LOOOOVE THEM AND NEEEED THEEM.... I CRIED REALLY MUCH IN THE FINAL EPISODE OF FRIENDS... VI HAR BRUG FOR DEM, OGSÅ I DANMARK....

they could make a movie that raps up all the loose ends but they cant bring the season back youve got to think people they have all grown up now lol they are all headinig into or already are in there 40's ... so im affaird that hope of a new season just aint going to do it but i agree there should deffo be a movie it will finish friends off nicely ... lets just hope they all go for it :) but i guess we'll never know until 2010 if they decide to make the movie or not ...
I love friends and I always cry when I watch the last episode, they should definatley make more episodes, and a movie. No they need to keep making them another 10 seasons I need Friends.... Seriously
i think there are rumours about a VERONICA MARS movie and i'm very excited!! ;) most of the actors of the show have agreed to participate. the only obstacle is the money but it is most possible that they re going to make the movie!

series it is the best thing ever PLEAS MAKE A MOVIE FOR ME RACHEL(JENNIFER ANISTON), MONICA(COURTNEY COX ARQUETTE), PHOEBE(LISA KUDROW),JOEY(MATT LEBLANC),CHANDLER(MATTHEW PERRY),AND ROSS (DAVID SCHWIMMER)
Can you imagine how popular it would be?
thousands queing up to see it adn the SATC movie was a hit and i think friends is more popular than SARC because its for all ages and genders.
MAKE THE MOVIE AND SOME MORE SEASONS

F.R.I.E.N.D.S <3
I think it would be great if they made a movie or a tv show.. just to see how things ended up with rachel and ross and monica and the twins. I would love for all the cast to be back together and it would have such a great response it would be awesome.. i would see it 6 times and even more i love freidns i am obsessed and with a moive or more series i think would top my life...
F.R.I.E.N.D.S fan for life
OMG!! they have too!! FRIENDS IS SOO COOL! AS EVERYONE ON THIS BLOG WOULD AGREE SO A HUGE PROFIT WOULD DEFFO BE MADE!!!!! xx
okay, they really should do a movie, and yer even maby another series. a friends movie would be the film of the year easily it would pull possably the largist audience ever seen, friends is one of the most popular sitcomes in the world. ma and my mum have all 10 series, and would flip at a chance for a film, and another series. every one who watched friends whats to kno what happend with joey, ross and rachel, pheebs and mike and monica and chandler and there twins.
FRIENDS MOVIE RELEASING DEC 2009
is that true? :S, and obviously they should make a movie/sseries.
they will make millons even billons if they bring backfriends and make the movie let alone a new sereis i have know ideia why they even stoped it in the frist place i mean they must like working together dont they miss dowing friends its what there famous for and even if they do other shows i will always always rememba them in that way and i think most of the world will too i've wached friends over and over again and seen every episode unless there is a secret one i have never herd of. so please please please plaeseplease please please plaeseplease please please plaeseplease please please plaese bring back friend and it will be bigger then the simsons movie and the sex and city for sure
HMM...well we all must think about the actors. Because what i've heard is that all of 'em (Anniston , Kudrow) aren't even interested of making the movie. Sure it would be cool if it did happen. I don't think it would make as much money as Sex and the city but it would go at least over 200 000 000 $. We never know if they're making it so don't keep ur hopes up. Sry to bring u down like this ;P Anyway I HOPE that they'll make the movie but i don't think they will :(
they should so make a film i have all ten seasons and i love it!! Wouldn't joey be with Alex from the show joey?(i watched this because i missed friends so much) and Mon and chandler hav the twins.! I hope they make it!
how cool would it be if monica and chandler actually were able to concieve, now that would make a good part of the movie.
Plllzzz make the movie! I am a huge fan! And i kno a tun of other fans! It will probably be a better hit then sex in da city cause friends is more of a teen AND adult kinda show. I have the complete series and almost cryed hen i saw the very last episode. PLZ PLZ PLZ PLZ MAKE A MOVIE AND CONTINUE DA SERIES!
I would love to see the whole cast again, whether it be a movie or another series. Just seeing that cast in general would be great for me. I love the show and I love all of them. Theyre great actors. Bring them back!!..:)
I love friends SOO much! it would be great to have a movie!!
Theres soo many unfinished stories like what happens to Ross & Rachel
And who does Joey end up with?
Plus it would be great to see what happens to the twins :)
And do Phoebe and Mike have kids???
its would also be great to have a show just to show how the kids of the friends end up like
ben emma the triplets and the twins!!
im soory i wrote a lot but i just love friends SOO much! (especially Chandler <33) :)
Make the movie!!!! it has been one of the best things ever to have been shown on TV. this has been a great laugh for me my friends and my family. there are still some things that havent been explained. This film has great potential. It will make tones of money. Also i was devostated when the series ended but this could be one of the best things ever. Plus if u dnt i will die nd then haunt you all. lol o.m but seriously do it!
P.S Chandler is the best one he soo rocks!!!
friends was the best thing to happen to television!!! i love friends n nearly cried on the last episode when they left their keys on the side :( it would be brilliant!!!
OH MY GOD!!!!!!! i LIVE for friends they have to make the movie, and PLEASE and another few seasons........ 10 would be ideal!!!!! friends is the best EVER and a movie would make SO much money!!!!!!!!!!!!!! think of all the fans that would watch that movie.......... i would watch it , buy it, and watch it another millione times!!!!!! PLEASE MAKE THAT MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!! THE WORLD NEEDS MORE FRIENDS!!!!!!!!!
F.R.I.E.N.D.S is the worlds bestest programme it is my most fav programme in the WHOLE WORLD i really do hope they make a movie because it would be really awsome and then mabey they'll do a season 11 of f.r.i.e.n.d.s !!!!
