Friends star Courtney Cox has denied rumours that a spin-off film of the hugely popular show will be made.
In an interview with the Daily Mirror, Cox was asked if it’s true the film is in the pipeline, and she replied, “That would be a negative.
“We’re not. I can’t imagine it. I don’t know. I just can’t imagine that happening.

Shelley Long proves the old adage ‘mother knows best’ wrong in an all-new episode packed with punchlines. The Cheers comedienne is on scene-snatching form as DeDe, Jay’s estranged ex-wife, who’s back in town to make amends for her performance at his wedding to Gloria: a wrecking ball could scarcely cause more damage.
