1. Creating the Package: F.R.I.E.N.D.S the Movie
Stage 2- Casting
Rachel Green: Jennifer Aniston
Monica Geller: Courteney Cox
Phoebe Buffay: Lisa Kudrow
Ross Geller: David Schwimmer
Chandler Bing: Matthew Perry
Joey Tribbiani: Matt Le Blanc
Stage 3- Director
Kevin Bright: he entered a partnership with Marta Kauffman and David Crane (the producers of
Friends) to form Bright/Kauffman/Crane Productions and began a development deal with Warner
Bros. Television to produce the comedy series Friends. He directed sixty episodes of the series,
including the series finale. He would be the ideal director as it would give the film the same feel as
the series; something the audience especially fans would want to see.
Stage 4- Funding
Dear potential investor,
I am producing a film based on the comedy TV Series, Friends called F.R.I.E.N.D.S the Movie. The film
will be based 5 years on in their lives following the finale episode and will show different aspects of
each of their lives as individuals and couples facing their daily issues as they did in the ever popular
series.
The series had up to 24.5 million viewers in series 8 making it one of the most sought after TV Series
around the world. In addition to this, the Warner Bros was been paid $10 million for the production
2. of each tenth episode making it the highest price in television history highlighting just how
anticipated and popular the series is. Because of this, it is obvious that the film will make a huge
profit.
I think one of the main factors that will attract the audience is that the cast will be completely the
same and will be directed by Kevin Bright, one of the former directors of the show. The set will
include the famous apartment which ‘Phoebe’ and ‘Mike’ will be living in and will also include the
coffee shop, Central Perk. Having all of these features, cast members and the director will draw our
potential audience in as the film will have the same ‘feel’ as the series did- something that is
important amongst our audience.
If you wish to invest in the production of the film, the money will be spent worthy and properly in
order to make it successful. The budget will be spread amongst the main actors and director. It will
also be spent on set design, lighting, props and crew.
If you wish to invest please contact back and I am sure it will not be a waste of your valuable time.
