Talk of a reunion for the loveable gang from New York's Central Perk has been bandied around Hollywood ever since the show aired its final season in 2004.

New reports surfaced in 2009 stating that all six principle cast members have signed up to a big screen retelling of the famous series. It looks promising, especially given the overwhelming success of the 'Sex and the City' film adaptation.Warner Brothers studio bosses are prepared to pay a fortune to the stars, who were each being paid six figures an episode by the tenth and final season, which pulled in 10million UK viewers.

The show's creators David Crane and Marta Kauffman are tipped to write and produce the film, due in cinemas in the summer of 2011.

James Michael Tyler, who played regular guest Gunther, confirmed: "Friends: The Movie is definitely on"
