Channel 4 waves goodbye to Friends
10 February, 2010

Channel 4 is to end its 15-year association with hit TV series Friends.The show – which made worldwide stars of Courteney Cox and Jennifer Aniston – continues to be a nightly staple of the broadcaster’s digital channel E4, despite ending almost six years ago.

C4 said that ending the deal next year will – together with the end of Big Brother – free up more cash for original programming and US buy-ins.The station has agreed with Warner Bros – the programme’s distributor – to end its rights to the series in the autumn of 2011.

Friends became a massive ratings hit for the channel as viewers became hooked on the antics – and varying hairstyles – of Rachel, Phoebe, Chandler, Joey, Ross and Monica from 1995 onwards.

The last ever episode from series 10 drew an audience of 8.6 million viewers when it was screened in 2004.E4 still shows the programmes seven nights a week and draws an average of almost 400,000.Channel 4 said the decision would allow it to “refresh the schedule” on the main station and on E4.

Gill Hay, head of acquisitions, said: “After 15 years, 10 hit series and 236 terrific episodes it’s time to say goodbye to old Friends and welcome new ones, in the form of more comedy, drama and entertainment from the US and UK. We are incredibly proud to have been the home of Friends for so long, but at a point when the channel is undergoing a period of creative renewal it felt like the right time to part company.”

Cox, Kudrow: ‘No Friends movie plans’
6 January, 2010

Courteney Cox and Lisa Kudrow have claimed that fans should not expect a Friends reunion movie.

Speaking to The AP, the stars said that they have never been approached by Friends co-creators David Crane and Marta Kauffman to return for a film version of the hit NBC show.

Sex and the City was already filmic. It was a single-camera show that was like a half-hour movie every week, anyway. Our show was multi-camera in front of an audience,” Kudrow said.

She added: “Whenever movie versions of those types of shows have been done, they’ve been sort of satirical. Maybe in ten more years, other people will play us and make fun of it.”

Kudrow, 46, will guest star on a forthcoming episode of Cox’s comedy series Cougar Town.

Update On Friends Movie Rumours
29 September, 2009

Nothing’s been heard since James Michael Tyler “confirmed” rumours for the Friends movie. However,whilst checking Courteney’s wikipedia page. The friends movie is listed under her projects for a 2011 release. When reading up about it,it says the following. So it seems like,once again this is just a silly rumour.

Following the series finale, rumors began to emerge of a Friends film, although all were proven to be untrue.Rumors of a film reemerged after the release of the Sex and the City film in 2008, which proved to be a success at the box office. The Daily Telegraph reported in July 2008 that the main cast members had agreed to star in the project, and that filming was going to start within the next 18 months. A source commented that “Jennifer, Courteney and the rest of the cast are [eager] to reprise their roles, under the right circumstances/Jennifer says she and Courteney have already talked this summer about what they want out of a Friends movie.”When asked about the film, Kudrow said that she was unaware of the talks, but expressed interest in the idea.However, the director of publicity for Warner Bros. said there was “no truth in the story”,and Perry’s spokeswoman added that “nothing is happening in this regard, so the rumor is false.” On September 27, 2009, the Sunday tabloid The Mail on Sunday quoted Gunther actor James Michael Tyler as saying a movie version is “definitely on”, and repeated claims by the tabloid News of the World from an unnamed “movie source” that the creators were involved with the film. Representatives for Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox Arquette, and Lisa Kudrow dismissed the claims as “speculation”.

Friends reunited: Stars of hit TV sitcom to make movie version
27 September, 2009

The cast of Friends are to be reunited once again – for a movie version of the hit TV show, it emerged today.

The six main stars have agreed to move the sitcom onto the big screen following the success of the Sex And The City film at the box office.

It means Jennifer Aniston, 40, Courteney Cox, 45, Lisa Kudrow, 46, Matt LeBlanc, 42, Matthew Perry, 40, and David Schwimmer, 42, will be back on the same set for the first time since the show ended in 2004.

Studio bosses from Warner Brothers are prepared to pay a fortune to the stars, who were being paid six figures an episode by the tenth and final season of Friends, which pulled in 10million UK viewers.

They have also drafted in the show’s creators David Crane and Marta Kauffman to write and produce the film, due in cinemas in the summer of 2011.

James Michael Tyler, who played Central Perk coffee shop oddball Gunther, confirmed: ‘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.’

A movie source told the News of the World: ‘The cast haven’t set the world alight since the show finished.

‘But this film could relight some of their flagging careers in a big way.

‘But everyone knew the story had to be right and well written. Getting the creators on board was a massive step forward for the project.

‘The show did lose a lot of its shine in the last few seasons, but with the actors all in the forties it would be a real interest to see how their characters have developed.’

The film comes in the wake of the big screen version of Sex And The City which took an astonishing $408,921,925 at the box office.

But, although the cast have always made no secret about a desire to do a film, some have cast doubts about its viability.

Miss Kudrow has said: ‘It would be so fun to be with all those people again.

‘But our show was not like Sex and the City – ours was multi-camera, in front of a live audience.

‘It’s a completely different feel. You’d have to bring the tone down, and I don’t know how it would be. I’ll just stay open.’

Meanwhile actor Mr Tyler, 47, who is in London for the launch of a Central Perk themed coffee shop in Soho, is keen to reprise his role as Gunther on the big screen.

He said: ‘The one thing I can tell you is that 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.’
