Friends movie really happening?

A movie based on the hit Warner Brothers comedy show FRIENDS could be in the offing, according to the Daily Mail newspaper in the UK. The rag reports that, following the success of the SEX AND THE CITY movie, movie bosses are keen to bring a film to screens based on FRIENDS, which aired its last episode on NBC in the States in 2004.

FRIENDS starred Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt Le Blanc, Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer and was a massive hit throughout the 1990's.


"The box office 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," said a source to the newspaper.

"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."

"What's held back a Friends movie so far is that people worried that Jennifer had simply become too famous to play Rachel again.

"But the truth is that Jennifer is finally willing to do it, and she'd love to work with that whole team of actors and producers again."
