Reunions and big screen adaptations have been rumoured since the hit sitcom ended its run in 2004.

Aniston, who turns 40 in February (09), tells People magazine, "We know how much people want that, and we would of course do it if it’s right. But I say do it way before we get to be geriatric Friends.

TOM CRUISE prepared for his role as a Nazi assassin in new movie VALKYRIE by studying American movie icon JOHN WAYNE.
The actor wore an eye patch to play an injured World War II colonel leading a plot to assassinate Nazi leader Adolf Hitler in the film.
And Cruise called upon a 1969 western movie starring his Hollywood hero to get him through the dizzying experience.
He tells U.S. talk show host David Letterman, "I remember as a kid seeing John Wayne in True Grit. He had the eye patch - I didn’t realise.
"I got a little nauseous when I first put it on. I lost depth perception, I was banging into things, I thought of John Wayne on the horse, and what it must’ve been like for him. He made it look so easy."

LILY ALLEN’s cover version of BRITNEY SPEARS’ single WOMANIZER has landed her in trouble with record label bosses - after her pal MARK RONSON helped it leak online.
Allen handed Ronson the track after he requested a new song to play during his show on New York’s East Village radio on Friday (12Dec08).
But he ignored her request to obscure part of the song so it couldn’t be grabbed and leaked online - and the track has now become a massive internet hit, with fans able to download and share it for free.
Allen’s label bosses are reportedly furious because they have missed out on lucrative online sales from the song, and have reprimanded the singer.
She fumes at Ronson in a post on her MySpace page, "Now, some of you may be wondering why I covered Womanizer. Simple really; I love Britney and I love the song. It wasn’t my intention for it to have whizzed round the world like it has.
"Mark Ronson asked me for something no one had heard to play on his radio show and Womanizer was the only song I had as an attachment on my Blackberry and I couldn’t get home to send him anything else in time.
"I had asked him to talk all over it so it wouldn’t get ripped, but he didn’t - thanks Mark for getting me in serious trouble with my record company."

Actress JODIE SWEETIN has been limited to supervised visits with her eight-month-old daughter after she was accused of abusing drugs and alcohol at an emergency custody hearing called by her estranged husband.
Sweetin, 26, filed for legal separation from Cody Herpin, 31, on 19 November (08) in Orange County, California - seven months after she gave birth to the couple’s first child.
The pair was scheduled to return to court on 9 February (09) for a custody hearing after Sweetin reportedly filed for joint custody of little Zoie.
Herpin responded seeking sole custody on 4 December (08), but called for the emergency hearing to get access the child - accusing the former Full House actress of driving intoxicated with their baby in the car.
A doctor took to the stand claiming the actress, an admitted crystal meth addict and alcoholic, had recently fallen off the wagon.
Sweetin, who lives with her parents, is now under emergency investigation by an Orange County, California family court for substance abuse, and will not be allowed to be with the child unless one of her parents is present.
Herpin’s lawyer tells People.com, "It’s primarily alcohol (abuse) but there’s also concern regarding methamphetamines," adding his client only had "sporadic" contact with their daughter since the split.
A judge ordered both parties, who married in July 2007, to submit to drug tests before the next hearing.
A lawyer and spokesperson for Sweetin were not available for comment as WENN went to press.

JENNIFER LOPEZ has sparked rumours she has split with husband MARC ANTHONY, after she was photographed at a red carpet event without her wedding ring.
The singer/actress, who only this year gave birth to the couple’s first kids, twins Max and Emme, stepped out alone at the Los Angeles premiere of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, looking stunning in a white figure-hugging gown.

A representative for Anthony doesn’t offer an explanation for the missing rings, but insists there’s no split, telling the magazine, "They are doing great. No further comments."
