No.  It was confirmed before this actually.  I read about it somewhere on the OT of NeoGAF.

It will go on for 11 seasons, and then Ross and Rachel will get back together and make babies and the series will end.

I just simply will not watch it as to not degrade my extremely high opinion of the movie.  Seriously, one of the best fucking movies I've seen that was made in my lifetime.

Often I'll pop the movie with the intention of just watching that scene, but before my finger hits the fast forward button I get captivated by the first shot, and before I know it I've watched the entire movie again  :lol

The scene where they manuever their way through the entire city during the battle.  It's ONE camera shot the entire time...I think it was somewhere near 20 minutes long or something.

Didn't someone verify that it wasn't one take or something?

It's not one take.  I don't think Cuaron ever claimed it was.  I remember hearing that it's actually 4 sewn together.

Quote
Visual effects supervisor Frazer Churchill has indicated that the battle sequence was filmed in five separate takes over two locations and then seamlessly stitched together to give the illusion of a single take. Similarly, the car sequence was filmed in six separate takes over three locations and then stitched together, along with various other CG elements including a CG roof.[60] In an interview with Variety, Cuarón acknowledged this nature of the "single-shot" action sequences: "Maybe I'm spilling a big secret, but sometimes it's more than what it looks like. The important thing is how you blend everything and how you keep the perception of a fluid choreography through all of these different pieces."

Well, then if that's the case, than it is simply an awesome case of editing.  It's amazing regardless.

Children of Men was fuckin awesome. My and my friend get into arguments about which movie is better. This or Departed.

God it's not even a debate.  Children of Men shits all over the Departed.

Wasn't a single take? That's actually very interesting - good dammit the CoM DVD is so bare, I want in depth looks at this type of stuff! Still an amazing sequence of editing though :bow

I will give the DVD props for having a couple good features though; there's one explaining the creation of that amazing car/motorcycle scene, as well as a cool CG feature on the creation of the baby. But I want moar  :'(

Cuaron said that the longest take in the film was about nine minutes long, so it's a marvel of not only long takes but also editing as well. Some of the editing is purely seamless. The only time I could tell a scene was edited together was the final battle scene where the blood disappeared off of the camera lens.
