A Friends Movie? You know if you find you’re in a role for a very long time and you want to get away from it and you’re trying to build up your new career, what you don’t do is go back to that role. So that’s why I can’t understand this story, each of the actors involved in the series is off doing their new thing, apart from Matt LeBlanc who’s just playing the same character but with lesser writers, so why go back? David Schwimmer is even on stage in London.
So why are we hearing that some of the cast are airing their desire to come back? From Rope of Silicon through The Digital Spy and from The Sunday Express UK newspaper:
David Schwimmer and Jennifer Aniston have both expressed in the project which would make each of the six lead cast members £10 million richer.
Well there’s your incentive, but I just don’t see it. Sure they can go for the money, but aren’t they totally loaded already? The money aside if you want to progress your career from something that has tied you in for so long, then you have to start playing different characters, hold different looks, etc. You can’t do that by playing a few failed parts and then just stepping back to the money earner, you’ll get nowhere. You have to get up and go for it. Bad move in my mind, and the last Friends episode was perfect enough not to spoil. What do you think?
