Courtney Cox wants 'Friends' movie

Former 'Friends' star Courtney Cox is keen to have a movie made on the hit TV series.

All the other actors seem ready for the film except for Jennifer Aniston, who fears being typecast, New-magazine.co.uk reports.

After the success of the 'Sex and the City' movie, Cox, who played Monica in 'Friends', is eager for the show to return and thinks it will do well at the box office. She even got her latest TV show 'Dirt' cancelled.

A source close to Cox said: 'Her biggest problem is getting Jennifer on board because she has so far refused to even contemplate going back to her role as Rachel Green. She's concerned it will damage her chances of moving on with her career as a serious actress.'

Ive heard this a thousand times before, but unfortunatly it will never happen.

Friends is a fantastic show and would do extremely well at the box office but there will always be at least one cast member against the idea.

Jennifer is right, she would only be back to square one again.

But I still hope she'd do it.

No.

I vote that we bring back "Bonanza,"
instead.

We can put the Cartwright Family on t.v.
as hand puppets, and it would be funnier
than "Friends."

Jennifer and her one liners,
picking at her hair, and doing what ever
it takes to try to steal the scene. No.

Courteney, yelling in that straining, high
pitched voice: "Noooooo!"

Joey....Oh, what did they do to you? They put
your head in a meat-grinder, until your eyeballs
popped out of your handsome face, and you tummy
puffed out.(They were jealous of your natural
attractiveness.)

But when Jennifer and Joey tried their hardest
to make the public think for one minute that
they were romantically interested in each other,
that is when the show jumped the shark!!! IMO.

It just never seemed watchable after that.(IMO)

Who's idea was that, anyway.
Ten to one, I'll bet that it was Jen's idea.

I'll bet that she insisted on it.

(Oh! And that would set her free???? Clever.)

Someone that can take on serious roles. Contrary to comedy.

So the TrainWreck is saying that those that play comedic roles don't ake their craft and work seriously? A actor has to be playing a serious role to be considered talented and taken seriously? Many, many actors have said the most difficult roles to pull off and do well are comedic roles.
I say The Train Wreck is wrong...LOL

I feel a serious actor is someone who can shine in any genre and Jennifer Aniston has certainly done so, she is amazing in comedies (Bruce Almighty, Along came Polly), Action/Thrillers (Derailed) and Dramas (The Good Girl, Friends with money) in all those movies stated she gave terrific performances showing that she is an all-round actress with amazing talent. I personally believe her performance in The Good Girl should have been nominated for an Oscar, it was on one of our national TV stations the other night and she was absolutely amazing as was Gyllenhaal, ITA comedy does look much harder to pull off and very few of the top actors can do it.

Jennifer can appear via telephone, like Suzanne Somers in Three's Company.

Put the turkey on an actress' head
and call her Jennifer throughout the show.

No one will be able to tell the difference!
Haaaa haaa ha.

Just kidding.
