'Friends' and 'Gilmore Girls' Flirt With Big-Screen Possibilities

To the delight of couch potatoes everywhere, Hollywood is obsessed with converting our formerly favorite TV shows into big-screen blockbusters. From ï¿½Sex and the Cityï¿½ to ï¿½X-Filesï¿½ to ï¿½Arrested Developmentï¿½, yesterdayï¿½s primetime gems could be tomorrowï¿½s box-office diamonds. But what of our other long-lived TV favorites? Could the ï¿½Gilmore Girlsï¿½ rise from the dead to rapidly drench us in dialogue? Will the ï¿½Friendsï¿½ 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.

ï¿½I donï¿½t know,ï¿½ Lauren Graham said of the possibility of seeing the Gilmores on the big-screen someday. ï¿½I donï¿½t know who makes those decisions. People always ask me that, and Iï¿½m like, ï¿½I donï¿½t knowï¿½.ï¿½

ï¿½Itï¿½s interesting,ï¿½ explained Perry, who co-stars with Graham in the upcoming family comedy ï¿½Birds of Americaï¿½. ï¿½Because everyoneï¿½s running around doing different things. I think weï¿½re trying to organize a thing soon.ï¿½

Wait? Exclusive! Thereï¿½s a ï¿½Friendsï¿½ movie in the works?

ï¿½No,ï¿½ he grinned. ï¿½I think it would be nice for the six of us to just get together and have dinner.ï¿½

ï¿½I have like 2 or 3 people left who still kind of care [about my show],ï¿½ joked Graham. ï¿½I donï¿½t know what the ï¿½Gilmore Girlsï¿½ movie would be about, probably because the show wasnï¿½t really about much. Nothing much happened; we just talked a lot.ï¿½

Optimistically, she floated the notion of her and Perry joining their collective forces. ï¿½Maybe we could bring the casts together,ï¿½ she smiled, ï¿½and do a ï¿½Gilmore Girlsï¿½/'Friendsï¿½ movie?ï¿½

ï¿½We could!ï¿½ replied Perry enthusiastically. ï¿½We could do a movie about how you two were always late to the town meetings.ï¿½

ï¿½No, I donï¿½t think [there will be a film], not ï¿½Friendsï¿½ anyway,ï¿½ Perry shrugged, dropping a wet blanket on a Ross/Rachel reunion. ï¿½We are trying to arrange [something], much less a whole reunion thatï¿½s televised, than weï¿½re just gonna have food together, I think.ï¿½

Although it seems like thereï¿½s no big-screen reunion on the horizon for either showï¿½s cast, die-hard fans will inevitably still wait for the day they change their minds. After all, they didnï¿½t exactly say ï¿½never,ï¿½ right?

Would you want to see a ï¿½Friendsï¿½ or ï¿½Gilmore Girlsï¿½ movie? What would the plots be?
