Hey, remember when we told you about Courteney Cox’ plans to get the old Friends gang back together for a big screen adaptation of the the long-running “Must See TV” hit? Well Ross, Rachel and Monica could invade a cinema near you sooner than we thought.

“What’s held back a Friends movie so far is that people worried that Jennifer had simply become to famous to play Rachel again….But the truth is that Jennifer is finally willing to do it, and she’d love to work with that whole team of actors and producers again.”

Friends: The Movie may be released in the next eighteen months, a Hollywood insider says.

“The box office success of Sex And The City has really got their wheels spinning about how a Friends film could be just as big, if done right,” a source says in the Wednesday morning edition of the Daily Mail.

“Timing and the script are really important, but now that Courteney and Jen both have production companies, they can potentially get very involved in those decisions.”
