Posted September 27, 200915 yr It's the NOTW but with direct quotes I really hope theres some truth to this! A Friends star has claimed that a movie version of the hit sitcom is in the works. James Michael Tyler, who played Gunther in the series, told the News of the World that Friends: The Movie is "definitely on". "I still keep in touch with a lot of the cast and they say that they are really keen," he added. The programme's creators David Crane and Marta Kauffmann have reportedly agreed to write and produce the film, which will be shown in cinemas in 2011. "The cast haven't set the world alight since the show finished," a source said. "But this film could relight some of their careers in a big way. "Everyone knew the story had to be right and well-written. Getting the creators on board was a massive step forward for the production. "The show did lose its shine in the last few seasons, but with the actors all in their forties it would be a real interest to see how their characters have developed." Tyler added: "The one thing I can tell you is I am definitely on board to do the film. I really loved my time on the show and I am looking forward to meeting up with the old gang again. "I just hope we can do justice to the show in a film." Members of the cast have previously denied rumours of a Friends film.
September 27, 200915 yr I know I've said previously I would love this to happen, but now I really don't want it too :heehee: Obviously I LOVE the original series but I dont really see where a movie would go that hasn't been done before without ruining it.. Oh, and I very much doubt this will even happen as the cast keep dismissing the rumours...
September 27, 200915 yr Author I'm torn between a movie or a thanksgiving special. A movie would need a really strong storyline. S&TC worked so I'd be hopeful Friends could.
September 27, 200915 yr Haha, about a year ago there were rumours of a movie. I really hope they don't make go through with it, I liked how Friends ended. I think they should just leave it.
September 27, 200915 yr I'm not sure if i'd like a movie, or a few special episodes about 10 years later (after the last episode, not 10 years from now), so we can see what they're all up to now
September 28, 200915 yr BOLL0CKS! And I never liked Gunther. What are they going to do in the movie? Not much, I don't think an entire movie can't be just about a conversation in Central Perk Edited September 28, 200915 yr by Spiral
September 28, 200915 yr Reports that a movie version of Friends is being developed have been refuted by three of the show's ex-stars. James Michael Tyler, who played Gunther in the series, recently claimed that the programme is to be made into a feature film. However, representatives for former castmembers Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox and Lisa Kudrow have moved to dismiss the speculation, says Gossip Cop. Each issued statements saying: "We are not aware of any plans for a Friends movie." Since its not true, i will close this topic. Any advancements and i will re-open for discussion
