Movie Rumors (7/3/2008): Slashfilm cites a British tabloid’s report that a “Friends” movie has been given the greenlight. Sources say that due to the success of “Sex and the City” on the big screen, studio execs and “Friends” creators have really got their wheels spinning about how a film could be just as big, if done right. Cast members Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Matthew Perry, Matt LeBlanc, Lisa Kudrow and David Schwimmer will reprise their roles for a big-screen adaptation ‘within the next 18 months’, according to insiders.
I don’t know what to think about this. I was a huge Friends fan while it was on TV, I even have all of the seasons on DVD, but I am at first doubtful and skeptical on how good it could be on the big screen. I think that one of the gems of Friends was its quick humor, which relied heavily on it only being a 30-minute sitcom once a week, and I’m afraid that a 2 hour movie would seem to REALLY drag on. What do you guys think? Would you want to see a Friends movie?

I will dust off the “one-liners” and be ready! Not sure how I like the idea of a movie, but it gives an excuse to keep watching re-runs!
We are there..we were big Friends fans and almost my whole family can recite many one liners from the series..I hope if they do it, it will be good!
