Lisa Kudrow Believes A Big Screen Reunion Is Unlikely Because “everyone is busy”

The 45-year-old actress – who played kooky masseuse Phoebe on the US TV show – believes a big screen reunion is unlikely because “everyone is busy”.
Referring to the show’s original writer-creators Marta Kauffman and David Crane, Lisa said: “I guess they don’t think it’s a good idea… It would be fun, but I don’t know. How? Why? Really? Everyone is busy!”
Lisa previously admitted it would be “fun” to shoot a movie if the other main cast members wanted to.
She said: “If there was a way to figure it out then it could happen.”
Courteney Cox-Arquette – who played Monica on the show – was reportedly desperate to star in a movie version too.
A source said: “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.”
The six regular cast members of ‘Friends’ – Courteney, Jennifer Aniston, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry, David Schwimmer and Lisa – were made into global stars by the series, which ended in 2004.
By the time of its last run they had been earning up to $1 million per episode.
