We’ve heard rumors of a Friends movie for years, and rumored holdout Jennifer Aniston has made it clear in the past that she’s not on board. In an interview with Hello! published in August, 2008, Aniston said “I believe [a movie] wouldn’t be a very good idea. Friends was a wonderful time in my life and is now – like so many other things – a chapter that’s been closed. Let’s keep looking forward.” Courteney Cox addressed a potential movie in an interview just last week. She said that she wishes that Friends could be a film phenomenon like Sex & The City but that “I don’t think it’s going to happen,” and added that it would need to have the same creators. “Would [series creators David Crane and Marta Kauffman] want to write it? Because they’d have to be involved. I don’t know … a lot of things would have to break just right for it to work. But we’ve daydreamed about it.”
According to the National Enquirer, Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox are indeed hoping to make a Friends movie in the same vein as Sex & The City. They’re also allegedly secretly writing a script for it:
Jennifer Aniston and Courtney Cox are so jealous of the runaway success of the “Sex and The City” franchise, they’ve hatched a plan to take “Friends” to the big screen, say sources.
The BFFs are working on a top secret script – and it looks like Jen may also direct the project.
“After years of saying no, Jen and Courteney decided the time is right for a ‘Friends’ reunion, an insider told the Enquirer.
“Courteney and Jen both watched with evnt as the ‘Sex and The City’ cast parlayed their cable TV show into a massive movie success, said the insider.
“So Jen is campaigning to make a ‘Friends’ movie finally happen.” And with Jen’s back, the project is all but a sure thing…
Jen is campaigning to get the series’ creators, Marta Kauffman and David Crane, to give the movie their blessing. But she’s already called the rest of the show’s cast – and they’ve all given a big thumbs up to the idea.”
[From The National Enquirer, print edition, June 28, 2010]
So is the Enquirer taking the hints that Cox may have been dropping in that interview and running with them? They may have insider information. We heard from the actor who played coffeehouse barista Gunther last September that a movie was already planned and that everyone had signed on. I could see a Friends movie coming, but it will probably be a pale overly packaged version of the original, like that movie franchise excuse for selling us more Sex & The City than we can take. Of course all the actors are on board. There’s a ton of money to be made and apart from Jennifer Aniston and maybe Courteney Cox, we haven’t seen many of them on either our small or big screens lately.

hmmm I really can’t imagine HOW that show would qualify to be more than a TV movie…the best reunion I have seen so far was the faux Seinfeld reunion on Curb. But Friends wasn’t ever as funny as Seinfeld

don’t think a Friends movie would work. I would, frankly, rather see a 90210 (the original cast!) reunion movie than a Friends movie.
not only is that Aniston pre-nose job, but the pre-botoxed Cox can actually smile!
EDIT: I love Aniston’s outfit in the full cast pic on the red carpet.

LOL – one says she’s not interested, the other says she would only if the shows creators did it…and that turns into the two of them secretly writing it! Come on.
Of all 6 of them, these two probably need the movie the least – CC has her hit show (which I don’t watch) and Jen has a steady movie career (which is blah but she’s still booked solid).

@bite me what does that mean? I could care either way. I won’t be going to see it.

I hope Brad Pitt makes a cameo appearance. That was a great episode.

I’d rather they did a feature length Thanksgiving episode – like a made for tv type movie. Maybe an hour and a half long.
Rather than a movie.

Botox ruined CC’s looks, I watch Cougar Town and although she’s really good in it and its surprisingly funny her forehead CANNOT move, sometimes I watch the entire episode studying her forehead and it doesn’t budge. Wonder if it feels numb or does it feel like its moving but it actually isn’t? Having said all that she still looks good, considering she’s nearly 50 but still, a normal wrinkly forehead would have been so much better, right? As for the friends movie, never going to happen I think.

I would love a Friends movie! And JA and CC are both very attractive women, IMO.

I know she didn’t like it at the time, but I really love Jen’s hair short like in that last picture…

She does looks nice with short hair.

It’s painful to look at these pics and even older pics. Both women looked so much better before what appears to be plastic surgery. It’s not age that’s making them look bad lately, it looks like plastic surgery. CC looks weird now from what looks like a bad eye job which is a shame because she had beautiful eyes.

CC said in Marie Claire she longer uses Botox

I was/am a HUGE “Friends” fanatic
HUGE HUGE HUGE
now I’m more of a can’t Rachel play anything but Rachel hater.
I think watching Joey be a dumb@ss at 45 would be sad. Monica driving Chandler back to Janice w/ her uber control over the twins would be sad. Phoebe looking old and still dressing in peasant skirts would be sad. Ross leaving Rach for Aisha Tyler would be overdue!
Maybe (as stated) a thanksgiving movie ala Facts of Life.
As a girl who has seen every episode a million times… I wouldn’t even pay for that. Maybe a decade ago; but they waited too long

DAMN! I think JA looks amazing in that one navy-blue-dress-deep-cutout dress! Holy cow!
As for friends – I’m impartial. I’d watch it on DVD.

I hope they do make a movie then people would stop talking about it. I really don’t see how this would work considering there really isn’t any long running storylines. Their extended tv episodes were boring and it was obvious that the writers were finding it difficult to stretch the episodes.

Oh yea, another vapid women’s movie.

Whatever, I would rather see a “DALLAS” reunion movie based on who REALLY shot JR !
I am still not convinced that it was Sue Ellen’s little sister, Kristin Shepard.

Ir’s a BS story. I don’t think any of them want a movie. Cox and Aniston don’t need it.

Aniston should open her lips when she smile. if she dont, she looks fugly. Just found it now.

@ andrea: ITA about Jennifer- she should cut her hair that length again, it really suited her, far more than the hair she has now. I also wondered who that fug dude was with the gorgeous Courteney in that header pic! I totally see Iggy Pop now too.
@ bite me: Courtney does have gorgeous hair doesn’t she! I love that she wears it different ways. She is such a pretty woman and a competent actress and comedian to boot.
A Friends movie would be a TERRIBLE idea, but I could see a one off TV special. I think that would be the best format for that particular show. Best to keep it to TV where it (and possibly its actors lol) belongs.

Why no?… I mean I don’t know whats wrong with this people… anyway I WOULD LOVE TO SEE A FRIENDS MOVIE I defeinitely would pay for it, I mean Friends deserves that more than Sex and The City.

there should be a friends movie, but we all know that it would just be a dissapointment… like the long awaited new Indianna Jones film which was just crap.
seinfeld should come back.. fuck friends

I Lov friends and hav seen all the episodes, bt am nt sure that there is enough story left to do a film. It could be friends years on where it shows monica and chandlers family etc. But i dunno cos that wuldnt last a whole movie. Bsides much as I want to see more of Friends, i dont want the perfect image i hav of it destroyed like the last series of scrubs. I think a special episode now and then wuld b a great idea, but am not so sure about an actual film =S
