You know, ever since Friends went off the air, rumors have cropped up again and again that there would be a big screen version of the show, presumably picking up the storylines from the grand finale. Of course, if you remember the great stories on Joey, maybe post-Friends storytelling isn't such a grand idea after all.

However, at least one person is sure that a feature film is coming. James Michael Tyler, who poured the coffee at Central Perk as Gunther (he also ogled Rachel), was asked about the movie version and Tyler said that Friends: The Movie is definitely on.

"I still keep in touch with a lot of the cast and they say that they are really keen ... I just hope we can do justice to the show in a film," said Tyler. Yes, he really used the word keen. Of course, if you were the guy who played Gunther, a minor character at best, the prospect of a big time movie would be pretty keen.

The bigger issue involves the stars. Would all six of them agree to do a feature, and if so, how much would it cost to get them to sign on the dotted line? Just a little over a year ago, on July 4, Warners vehemently denied that there was any truth to Friends: The Movie. Has something changed since then?

Umm ... not really, except that Courteney Cox is tied up with Cougar Town and Jennifer Aniston has made four films since then. As for the guys and Lisa Kudrow, they could fit a feature into their schedules.

So, I guess we'll see, at least until Warners shoots down the rumor again.
