Friends: The Movie

Friends

Matt LeBlanc would jump at it, as he's got nothing doin'. David Schwimmer's directorial debut Run Fatboy Run didn't impress, so he might be on board (here's a hint, David - next time you make a movie about a fat guy, make sure to cast an actual fat guy in the lead). Matthew Perry's Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip died a too-early death, and he's now stuck playing the older version of Zac Efron in 17 Again, so he'd probably be down. Lisa Kudrow has indie cred but gets stuck in 'best friend' roles a lot, so she'd probably consider reprising her best "Friend" role. Courteney Cox just had her F/X series Dirt cancelled, so she's likely free. Jennifer Aniston's tabloid career easily outpaces her film career, which has had scattered potential but a lot of misfires, and now she's doing a movie about a dog called Marley & Me.

Thus it makes sense that, after watching the Sex and the City folk milk their cash cow for a big-time movie, the cast of Friends are now considering taking their stab at theatrical gold. At least they are according to The Daily Mail, which requires a healthy amount of skepticism. It would make sense for them, though, at least in the short run. The insane marketing blitz that Sex had would likely work for them as well, and we'd all have a fresh opportunity to get sick of the Rembrandts all over again.

So while we wait to see if "The One Where It's A Movie" is anything more than conjecture, watch the full episode of Cox's Dirt in which Aniston guest-starred and even got "extra-friendly" with her.
