Studio Exec Denies Friends Movie Rumors

A representative for Warner Bros film studio has quashed speculation of a Friends reunion movie.

The hit TV sitcom - which starred Courteney Cox, Jennifer Aniston, Lisa Kudrow, David Schwimmer, Matthew Perry and Matt LeBlanc - came to an end in 2004 after a 10-year run.

It was rumored earlier this week (begs30Jun08) that Cox and Aniston were keen to reprise their roles for a movie version of the show, as long as the story was right.

They were alleged to have been inspired by the massive box office success of Sex and the City: The Movie, which was turned from a TV series into a big-screen film earlier this year (08).

But the claims have been refuted by executives at Warner Bros, the studio behind Friends.

Jayne Trotman, Warner's director of publicity in the U.K., says, "(There's) no truth in the story."

And publicists for both Cox and Perry have also stepped in to deny the rumours.

Perry's spokeswoman, Lisa Kasteler, adds, "Nothing is happening in this regard, so the rumour is false."
