Even though Friends series ended in 2004 after a ten year run, TV bosses finally realized there’s a lot of potential left in the characters, as well as tons of ever fresh jokes and never-ending collisions.

Jennifer Aniston, Matthew Perry, Courteney Cox, Matt LeBlanc, Lisa Kudrow and David Schwimmer can also expect hefty fees even exceeding those they pocketed for series episodes.

The paper quotes an insider as saying: "Although the cast have gone their different ways, none of them has quite repeated the success they had with Friends.

"And while Friends may be over as a television entity there are many who have believed for some time that people had not quite had enough of them just yet.

"David Schwimmer and Jennifer Aniston are the first to make positive noises regarding the film and it is thought once they are on board the others will follow suit."
