In the age of reboots and reunions, it’s easy to get carried away in the hopes that your favorite series will round up the old gang for one last hoorah. This is exactly what fans did when a very real-seeming Friends: The Movie reunion trailer hit the interwebs earlier this month, and the results sent fans into a little bit of a friend-zy (this thing has over 4 million views).
The trailer reunites all your favorite familiar faces – Rachel (Jennifer Aniston), Monica (Courtney Cox), Phoebe (Lisa Kudrow), Ross (David Schwimmer), Chandler (Matthew Perry), and Joey (Matt LeBlanc), now all in very different places in their lives (as in, entirely different shows and movies that have been used to stitch this fake trailer together). The description for the Friends movie trailer —not coming in April 2018— reads as follows:
This picks up a few years where the final season left off with Ben and Emma grown up. 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.
Evidently, it’s all a ruse for some YouTube views, but fans of the show may find it totally worth a watch – it certainly does tug at the heartstrings. Fans were quick to believe it, and then have their hopes and dreams crushed when they found out it was fake, leading to a Twitter uproar (*cue the whiny Ross Geller gifs*):
I don’t know about you, but I could do without having another one of my favorite television relationships ruined by a movie (looking at you, Sex and the City and Miranda and Steve).
