We really wish this 'Friends' movie trailer was real!
We've got good news and bad news for "Friends" fans who've been longing to see the gang get back together again.
As for the good: The first trailer for the big-screen reunion you've been waiting for is here!
And the bad: It's totally fake.
But that's OK! After all, if the stars of the series are to be believed, it's unlikely that the cast will ever get back together for a real reunion. So this faux "Friends" fun is the closest we may ever come to seeing Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler, Phoebe and Joey all together again.
Called "The One With the Reunion," the trailer lacks glimpses of Central Perk or ridiculously spacious rent-controlled apartments, but it's packed with modern-day scenes of all the familiar faces.
The plot focuses on where the once close-knit group would be years after the 2004 series finale.
"This picks up a few years where the final season left off with (Ross' kids) Ben and Emma grown up," a description from creators at Smasher reads. "Mike and Phoebe have trouble with marriage, Monica and Chandler are getting a divorce, Joey couldn't find someone, and Ross and Rachel have trouble after many years of not being together! Filled with some surprise appearances by today's actors, along with some old friends (no pun intended), this movie will be an all-star extravaganza, while showing a lesson in being there for each other."
The clip is cobbled together from mini-reunions the stars have held on their own post-"Friends" projects — when Courteney Cox and Jennifer Aniston reunited on "Cougar Town" and when David Schwimmer paid a visit to Matt LeBlanc's "Episodes."
Matt LeBlanc explains why a 'Friends' reunion wouldn't work
A revival of the show would have to be called "Old Friends," joked the actor.
Matt LeBlanc is siding with his former "Friends" castmates who think a revival of the show is a bad idea.
During a visit to the "Steve" show on Monday, the 50-year-old "Man With a Plan" star explained to host Steve Harvey that reviving the beloved sitcom, which aired from 1994 to 2004 on NBC, would mean seeing the Central Perk gang at midlife.
Like, 'Old Friends'? Personally, I don't think so," said LeBlanc. "I've talked to the writers about it. That show was about a very finite period in your life, between 20 and 30, when you’re out of school but your life hadn’t really started yet and your friends are your family, and you’re kind of finding your way. When that period is over, it's over."
Excitement about a reunion between Joey, Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler and Phoebe heated up again after a fan-made "Friends" movie trailer on YouTube quickly went viral in January.
But, while the actor's former co-star Jennifer Aniston teased "Friends" fans last month by suggesting that "anything is a possibility," LeBlanc thinks the whole idea is plain silly.
"All the characters have gone their separate ways," he told Harvey.
Besides, he said, Joey Tribbiani's life today wouldn't make for must-watch TV.
"I always have this standard go-to joke when people say, 'We want to see what Joey’s doing now.' Nobody wants to see Joey at his colonoscopy! Nobody wants to see that," he said.
