To the delight of couch potatoes everywhere, Hollywood is obsessed with converting our formerly favorite TV shows into big-screen blockbusters. From “Sex and the City” to “X-Files” to “Arrested Development”, yesterday’s primetime gems could be tomorrow’s box-office diamonds. But what of our other long-lived TV favorites? Could the “Gilmore Girls” rise from the dead to rapidly drench us in dialogue? Will the “Friends” once again return to their fictional world without black people?
We recently posed the question to Mr. Chandler Bing and Miss Lorelai Gilmore, in the forms of the real-life stars who made them iconic.
“I don’t know,” Lauren Graham said of the possibility of seeing the Gilmores on the big-screen someday. “I don’t know who makes those decisions. People always ask me that, and I’m like, ‘I don’t know’.”
“It’s interesting,” explained Perry, who co-stars with Graham in the upcoming family comedy “Birds of America”. “Because everyone’s running around doing different things. I think we’re trying to organize a thing soon.”
Wait? Exclusive! There’s a “Friends” movie in the works?
“No,” he grinned. “I think it would be nice for the six of us to just get together and have dinner.”
“I have like 2 or 3 people left who still kind of care [about my show],” joked Graham. “I don’t know what the ‘Gilmore Girls’ movie would be about, probably because the show wasn’t really about much. Nothing much happened; we just talked a lot.”
Optimistically, she floated the notion of her and Perry joining their collective forces. “Maybe we could bring the casts together,” she smiled, “and do a ‘Gilmore Girls’/'Friends’ movie?”
“We could!” replied Perry enthusiastically. “We could do a movie about how you two were always late to the town meetings.”
“No, I don’t think [there will be a film], not ‘Friends’ anyway,” Perry shrugged, dropping a wet blanket on a Ross/Rachel reunion. “We are trying to arrange [something], much less a whole reunion that’s televised, than we’re just gonna have food together, I think.”
Although it seems like there’s no big-screen reunion on the horizon for either show’s cast, die-hard fans will inevitably still wait for the day they change their minds. After all, they didn’t exactly say “never,” right?
Would you want to see a “Friends” or “Gilmore Girls” movie? What would the plots be?
it would be great if they did a sitcom together!!!!
aaaammm
the movie of the Gilmore girls could be about rory's new job and the Lorelai & Luke's life togeher
Gilmore Girls is genious, and the movie I know would be really funny (but i dont know how dramatic the movie is going to be... unless like Rory accidentally gets shot when she goes to New York or something).
I loved the characters in GG and I liked the characters in Friends, but I don't care a bit about "these two" characters (LG/MP) in real life. We as ordinary citizens could not make such stupid remarks without being labelled, well "stupid" but they think they are being cute.
LG and MP cute together, Please. In the worse way. LG has horrible taste in men.
I'll take a Scott Patterson over 10 Mathew Perry any day. At least Scott is not being a jerk when he speaks in public. These two are.
I don't care one bit about either of them and will never watch anything they are in, especially together.
^_^
Gilmore Girls is a wonderful show that had a very talented cast. I would have been happy to see the show continue on indefinitely; however, from what I'v read it was quite time consuming to film the witty banter, etc.
In reality I know "all good things must come to an end"; however, Gilmore was robbed of an ending that would due it justice. The searies finaly was good, but when you are creating something that has to be open ended enough to serve as either a season finalie or series finalie there's only so much you want to tie up just in case.
Gilmore & its fans deserves a chance to put the show to rest the way it was meant to be...with it's cast & Amy Sherwin-Palladino!!!
As for plot...what happens to Luke & Lorelie? Rory? (& anyone in her life-reuniting with Logan?)...& What last words Amy Sherwin-Palladino wanted to end it with from the beginning????
Please give ther fans the ending that was planned in the beginning (& if that a Luke/Lorelie wedding all the better).

they could have Monica & Chandler deciding to adopt again.
Phoebe and Mike are expecting a baby.
Rachel and Ross are getting married.
And Joey is doing a feature film and it could be a spoof like he could say "yeah I go this part in this movie about these 6 weird Friends living in the city...and I am playing this guy Chandler...and then he could fall in love w/ the girl who was casted as Rachel.
of course there would be tons of comedy in it too...but I just really hope that they cast and crew get together and make a movie quick...like by 2010 (ideally)
ahh, i agree with courtney. i bet the movie would ruin or change everything. but it might not, and even if i don't like the movie, there's always all those seasons that were awesome, and i could just forget about the movie. but the last episode was good, but there wasn't enough behind it.
That would be the best thing alive
(:
everyone knows they were perfect. so WHY DIDN'T THEY END UP TOGETHER?
Friends, on the other hand, wrapped things up nicely and I have closure on that series.
more then a S&C movie...
I love Friends..
