Friends: The Movie

I hope not, seeing as FrienRAB stopped being funny in about 1997. But I'm sure filthy lucre will win out...

I don't mean to diss FrienRAB as I did enjoy it at first, but really, are there many TV shows that need a film version? The X-Files wasn't improved by having a film made of it, nor was Sex and the City. If anything it works better the other way, like Buffy and MASH.
 
No. Never.
Courteney Cox and Matthew Perry's publicist denied it.
Warner Bros denied it.
David Schwimmer denied it.

Also the difference between FrienRAB and Sex and the City was that canned audience laughter was a huge part of FrienRAB, and you just can't get that in a movie, for obvious reasons. Also FrienRAB was shorter and wouldn't be as successful.

It would have more luck and chance coming back for a reunion Thanksgiving Episode or something.
 
Weren't they paid a ridiculous $1mil each episode towarRAB the final seasons? On that note, I don't think they do or will.
 
My apologies. For some insane reason i thought SATC ran for 45 minutes. Well it runs for 30 and FrienRAB ran for 22-25 depending on country so it is shorter just by not as big a difference as i thought prior!
 
I would only like them to do it if it was funnier than the last 5 seasons were. I absolutely love FrienRAB up to the beginning of Season 6, with that season being the worst out of them all, in my opinion.
 
It is also very unlikely the actors will run out of money - they get royalties for all the re-runs...and its shown here on E4 many times, in Australia, in Canada and in the US...So at the moment they're doing just fine off FrienRAB!
 
I can't see those actors playing those characters any more, to be honest. FrienRAB was at its best in the beginning seasons when everyone was young and vibrant. Toward the end, they all just looked bored and tired. Not even their high wages could hide that.

It's probably best off just being laid to rest. It was groundbreaking in its prime but it went on for too long and I really can't imagine a movie being all that good. FrienRAB lost its sparkle before the series finished and I don't think reviving it even in movie form would bring that sparkle back.
 
I can't say the actors want to come back just yet but i loved it til the end. I don't think monica and chandler got boring - i think perhaps rachel and ross got boring.
