Courteney Cox Wants to Star in a Movie Version of 'Friends'

Courteney Cox is desperate to star in a big-screen adaptation of 'Friends'.

The actress, whose most recent TV project 'Dirt' was canceled, wants to re-visit the hit US sitcom which turned her into a household name.

Cox's co-stars -- David Schwimmer, Matthew Perry, Lisa Kudrow and Matt LeBlanc -- are reportedly keen on the idea, but Courteney's close pal, Jennifer Aniston, is worried a movie version of the show would stereotype her as an actress.

A source reveals, "Courteney has already spoken to a lot of the old gang and most of them are eager to do it.

"Courteney has seen the success of the 'Sex and the City' movie and is sure a 'Friends' movie would be even bigger.

"Her biggest problem is getting Jennifer on board because she has so far refused to even contemplate going back to her role as

"Rachel Green. She's concerned it will damage her chances of moving on with her career as a serious actress."

Since Friends finished in 2004 after 10 seasons, many of the stars have embarked on their own solo careers, with Aniston starring in a string of films, including The Break-Up and the upcoming Marley & Me.
