There is unseen behind the scenes footage from Friends according to David Arquette
So the bad news is that HBO's big Friends reunion has been postponed due to Coronavirus (like pretty much everything else in entertainment). But the good news is that there is apparently lots and lots of unseen behind the scenes footage from the final episode, according to Courtney Cox's ex husband and one time cast member, David Arquette.
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Arquette, who was married to Cox for over a decade before they split in 2010, said that he recorded lots of behind the scenes footage from the set of the final episode of Friends, which aired in 2004, which he has now, sadly, lost.
"This is the most tragic part, it's so silly, he said. "I hope at some point I find it but I had this - I filmed all behind the scenes, like, the final episode and I'm, like, walking around, just filming all this stuff that nobody really sees just to give people an idea of, like, what they did. And so much so that the final scene, I'm up in the rafters and I'm shooting down, complete, like, bird's eye view."
Arquette also talked about how the main cast have a ritual that they would do before they went out on set, saying that he had caught it in his behind the scenes footage, but that he wanted to save that information for the reunion episode.
"And there's, like, this really beautiful ritual they do right before... I don't want to reveal too much 'cause I'm sure they'll share it, but a little ritual they do before they go out, which I captured, which was really sweet."
Although Arquette has lost the footage, he did say that he had sent the footage to other members of the cast and crew so there may still be hope...
"I made edited versions and sent them to everybody, so hopefully somebody found an edited version... But no, I lost it completely... I don't know where it is."
Everything crossed right now. Everything.
