Jennifer Aniston says the Friends reunion delay is "very sad"
The actress said that the news is not so bad at all, because they can make this special chapter more exciting and fun.
The filming of the special “Friends” reunion for HBO Max has once again been postponed, this time due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Although Jennifer Aniston thinks that the news is very sad for the actors and followers of her, she points out that this is an opportunity to better work on said unscripted chapter.
"Unfortunately, it is very sad that we had to move it again," she commented in a phone call to the US portal Deadline. She also said that the decision was made because the initial idea is to have an audience in the chapter, a fact that now would not be possible given the number of infections in the world.
"It was, 'How do we do this with live audiences?' This is not a safe time. That is the bottom line. This is not a safe time to do it, ”she added.
Still, Aniston remains optimistic about her and assures that this is a sign. "It will be great. You know what?. This has also given us more time to make it even more exciting and fun than it would have been. So she chose to see it as the glass half full that was put off. You'll never get rid of Friends, sorry, ”she commented.
It should be noted that the special was scheduled to shoot in mid-March. However, the pandemic suspended all filming, then HBO moved the filming date to May, in such a way that the release date is met, which was May 27. So far there is no set date or filming, or launch.
Finally, Aniston pointed out that this is not her favorite year and she hates it. "I'm supposed to renew my driver's license and I don't want it to say 2020. I just want to take out 2020 and leave it behind," she concluded.
