Apparently, due to the success of the Sex in the City 'movie', they are releasing a friends movie -wait for it - within 18 months.
I am so excited that there will be a friends movie, but please do not fast track it! I don't want to lose quality as a result of America's need for instant gratification. 18 months?!? That, I say, is not nearly enough time to write a screenplay that is going to really capture the complexities of each character, much less Chandlers delightful wit. Or what about how they've all changed now that they are all 40-50 years old.
I say this idea needs to steep and the writers should really flesh out every little detail and then try to make the best movie ever. The downside is that that might take a good 10-15 years. Oh! The upside would be that the worst writers in hollywood would be occupied for 10-15 years, and the actors would not take any more jobs 'just in case.'
Also, after receiving criticism that the show featured no black people whatsoever, they are creating a new character who will be played by whoopi goldberg.
Hurray for Hollywood!
