Friends Fans Out Of Luck With Movie Reunion

Definitely not taking a cue from Sex and the City , fans of long-time NBC sitcom will have to settle for re-runs, a new Blu-ray and their imaginations about what happened next to Rachel, Monica, Chandler, Phoebe and Ross. Some fans of the decade-long running show had clamored for a reunion, but Friends ‘ co-executive producer/director Kevin S. Bright said that another round is not in the works. “There is absolutely, 100 percent no talk about a reunion … there will be no ‘Friends’ movie,” Bright told TV Guide “It was made to be an intimate show in your living room. It wasn’t a broader show like many of the comedies today that are shot single-camera. It’s wonderful the way it is.” Running from 1994 – 2004, the popular show helped launch Jennifer Aniston (Rachel), Courtney Cox (Monica), Matthew Perry (Chandler), Matt LeBlanc (Joey) Lisa Kudrow (Phoebe) and David Schwimmer (Ross) who have also moved on to the big and small screens. “I don’t want to see old Joey,” LeBlanc told EW. “Everyone’s going to have different vision of what those characters are like, so to have that materialize is going to disappoint most people. A couple of people will go, ‘That’s what I thought!’ but for the most part it’s going to let people down. It’s better to let them just think.” But while a movie or some kind of reunion won’t spell out what happened to the Friends friends – though who can really ever say never as long as people are alive? – Bright did offer up what he imagines may have been the fates of some of the characters. “I’m hoping that Ross and Rachel, and Monica and Chandler, and Phoebe and Mike are still married and living happily ever after,” he said. “Monica and Chandler would be living in Westchester with three kids — twins via surrogate and one on their own – and Chandler would be the owner of his own number-crunching business…a WENUS organization, if you will. Rachel and Ross had another baby, a sibling for Emma; Joey’s a star after getting his big break; and Phoebe opened a chain of holistic spas across the country.” Friends: The Complete Series Blu-ray comes out Tuesday featuring all 236 episodes for the first time completely remastered.

Ho-Leia Mo-Leia! Is AnnaLynne McCord Secretly Auditioning For ‘Star Wars Episode VII’?

The desire to dress up in skimpy sci-fi costumes is strong in AnnaLynne McCord.   The Insider.com posted a curious photo gallery of the 90210 actress in a number of odd get-ups from the show, including a shot from next week’s episode in which she dresses up in a replica of the famous metallic bikini that Carrie Fisher wore in Return of the Jedi .  According to the site, McCord, who plays Naomi,  dons the costume for a trip to a comic convention where her nerd husband Max is selling a video game. It’s good timing for McCord and the producers given that fanboys and girls and the media are all atwitter over Disney’s plans to bring Star Wars Episode VII to the big screen in 2015. Who knows, if the right person is watching, McCord could land a walk-on as a Twi’lek Jedi or  some other role that calls for a barely-there costume and a toothy smile. Apparently, it’s not the first time that McCord has channeled her inner geek.  In another gallery photo, she appears to be dressed as an Avatar Na’vi, sporting blue skin and a tale and a similarly hued cut-out dress.

Super Size Me director Morgan Spurlock will take on a boy band for his next project and rabid fans will get a 3-D view. U.K. group One Direction will be the subject of a film by the Oscar-nominated director in a project that will be produced by X-Factor producer Simon Cowell. One Direction – Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson – have had a meteoric rise since they were plucked into notoriety by Cowell’s original British version of X-Factor in 2010. The five-some quickly became one of the competition’s all-time popular acts. They finished in the final three, but more importantly, they amassed a massive fan base. In March 2012, One Direction’s debut album, Up All Night , made a splash stateside, making them the first British group to have a debut album enter the U.S. Billboard 200 chart at number 1. The band has sold over 13 million records worldwide and today the group released their sophomore album, Take Me Home , which includes the hit single, Live While We’re Young . The TriStar Pictures project is set for an August 30, 2013 release, which lands on Labor Day weekend in the U.S. and Canada. Morgan Spurlock, Ben Winston, Simon Cowell, and Adam Milano will produce the film. [Source: Deadline ]
