Friends Movie on the Way?
TheDailyMail is reporting that the hit TV series “Friends” has been greenlit to be turned into a feature film.
The Friends TV show ran from 1994 to 2004, wrapping up with a final show that drew a US audience of 52.5m. The show made household names of the cast, all of whom have gone on to enjoy fitfully successful solo careers.
‘The Spirit’ Moved Up to 2008
After positive fan response to the teaser trailer for Frank Miller‘s “The Spirit” at the New York Comic Con, distributor Lionsgate has decided to move the film’s release date from January 2009 to this Christmas day – and just so you know, the fact that JJ Abrams‘ “Star Trek” abandoned the date in favor of May 2009 had absolutely nothing to do with it.
Columbia Buys ‘The Long Run’ spec
In another sign that the town is waking up from the slumber brought on by the WGA strike, Columbia has pre-emptively plunked down low-seven figures for “The Long Run,” a spec by scribe Stephen Belber.
Will Smith will produce via his Overbrook banner.
Also producing are Overbrook’s James Lassiter and Ken Stovitz. Smith is not attached to star.
The script centers on a journalist who helps exonerate a highly charismatic death row inmate of a crime he didn’t commit. When the former inmate is recruited to run for elected office, the journalist leaves his post to orchestrate his rise to political prominence but soon faces a crisis of conscience as he discovers that his friend might be guilty of murder after all.
This script is timely and provocative with two great parts,” said Columbia president Doug Belgrade, who also praised the company’s long-standing relationship with Overbook and cited its work on “The Pursuit of Happyness” as making them “the perfect producer for this dramatic material.
Playwright Belber wrote the script before directing his feature debut, the Jennifer Aniston romantic comedy “Management,” which he helmed during the strike. His reps at ICM waited until the appropriate time after the strike to package it.
Jennifer Aniston: “Devastated” Over Angelina Jolie’s Pregnancy

A source close to the actress said: “Jennifer is putting on a brave face, but inside she is really upset. She wasn’t prepared for how she’d feel when she saw the pictures of Angelina and her bump”.
