A few months ago Gossip Cop busted a News of the World story that reported, “Friends is back for a big-screen version of the hit sitcom.”
At the time, reps for several stars of the hit show told Gossip Cop, they were “not aware of any plans for a ‘Friends’ movie.” Well now Lisa Kudrow, who guest stars this week on Courteney Cox’s comedy “Cougar Town,” personally addresses the rumor.
Kudrow says that despite the success of the big-screen adaptation of “Sex and the City,” the creators of “Friends,” NEVER pitched the former cast members on a “Friends: The Movie.”
She tells the Associated Press, “’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. Whenever movie versions of those types of shows have been done, they’ve been sort of satirical.” Adds Kudrow, “Maybe in 10 more years, other people will play us and make fun of it.”
Gossip Cop would like to know in the comments section if you agree with Kudrow that a “Friends” flick wouldn’t work, or if you would still like to see a big-screen version of the long-running comedy series.

I agree with Lisa, in the part that a movie for Friends needs to be in a few years. 10 years might be too long though (maybe 3-5) Seinfeld just had a mini-reunion on Curb your Enthusiasm and it was pretty funny. I don’t think other stars acting as them would be the way to go either. It would be more entertaining to see their characters in where are they now type story.
