Friends Reunion Show 2014: Why It Will Never Ever Happen; Is It Really Conflicting Schedules Or Cast Indifference?
Fanatics of the hit sitcom 'Friends' went crazy over a photo that spread online where a reunion show come Thanksgiving is in the works to celebrate its 10th year anniversary. (see photo above)
However, It looks like the "Friends" cast has already moved on with their own lives since leaving apartment 20.
Original cast Matt LeBlanc who played Joey Tribbiani, says that a "Friends" reunion show is not going to happen, but he's always happy to hear rumors about it.
"I'm not tired of getting asked that question at all. 'Friends' was probably the greatest 10 years of my life. I'd be hard-pressed to find something that matches that in terms of success and just sheer fun. So anything that harks back to that has a soft spot in my heart," he told Los Angeles Times.
"As far as a reunion project, that's just not in the cards. I think that show was about a finite period in your life - after college and before you start your family where your friends are your family - and that's what that show was about. So to go beyond that doesn't feel like you'd do justice to that. I liken it to that saying that the book is always better than the movie. I think it's best to imagine what those characters are doing now versus to see those characters. No one wants to see us in our 40s (laughs). Joey's still struggling as an actor. It'd just be sad," he added.
Courteney Cox opened up to David Letterman on Monday's "Late Show" about the never-ending rumors that the famous gang will get back together to film a reunion movie based off their hit NBC show.
"Only because once you say, 'Well, I'd like it,' then they have to contact every other cast member and be like, 'Courteney's into it!' And then I get in trouble. It's not going to happen," she told David Letterman during his appearance on the "Late Show."
"Let me tell you something: there's six friends and I've been trying to put together a cast dinner for 10 years. It doesn't happen! I can get the girls to come, maybe Matthew Perry. Matt LeBlanc canceled last time right at the last minute, Schwimmer lives here [in New York City], so it's just not gonna happen," says the newly engaged star.
Despite LeBlanc's and Cox's statements, fans will never get tired of hoping that "the greatest gift America has given mankind', so they say, will someday get a much-awaited reunion movie. After all, anything is possible in Hollywood.
