Is "Fletch Won" Back On Again?

by Scott Weinberg | June 12, 2007

Summary

Last thing we heard about a new "Fletch" flick was that "Scrubs" creator Bill Lawrence would direct and (probably) Zach Braff would star. Well, forget all that. Back to Article

braff MAY have been the best choice possible, although I would love to see someone SERIOUS do the role, say a Ryan Gosling or a Giovanni Ribisi.

I can't believe they actually took a step down from Zach Braff.

Why are you guys so down on Joshua Jackson? He was so good in Dawson's Creek. He has the ability to play Fletch. F*** Zach Braff! He's way too full of himself. It's good to see they actually give roles to people who deserve it and not just somebody who's popular. If Garden State is any indication as to how much talent Zach has, he should just go get a job at McDonald's. That's all he's qualified to do.

[b]Steve Pink was a fantastic choice, but Joshua Jack[/b]
Joshua Jackson is one of the worst actors out there, even Jason Lee would be a better choice.

I liked the first two very much, I wouldnt see it without Chevy Chase. It would ruin it for me.

Chevy Chase was more of an 80s equivalent of Will Ferrel. Fletch was goofy... Fletch should remain goofy... so none of these flavour of the day pretty boy actors.

It's not Fletch without Chevy Chase. Couldn't see it myself.

Jackson's allright, but the Kevin Smith-Jason Lee version sounded way cooler.

[b]Chase will always be Fletch[/b]
"I got his credit card, want the number?"

Even though, I like Zach Braff, Chevy will always be Fletch IMO.

Shouldn't you be on a Cheetah Girls message board, little girl?

Let me guess, you have a "No Girlz Aloud" sign on your bedroom door.

Don't be a dick. He/she is entitled to an opinion, even though I disagree with it.

And plus, he/she seems to have seen Fletch. That's cool by me.

Having read a few of the Fletch books I never cared for Chevy Chase as Fletch. He was just Chevy Chase... not Fletch... comparing him to Will Ferrill is a great parallel.

Of all the names mentioned I would have to go with Ryan Reynolds as well. But that doesn't mean I think he's the perfect Fletch. Just the best of this bunch of names.

[b]This makes me want to cut my face off[/b]
I know everyone says Chevy Chase is supposed to be an asshole or whatever but I don't care I love him. He's done so many memorable films from Fletch to Seems Like Old Times to Caddyshack to The Three Amigos to well you get my drift.

I always feel really bad for him when he does a SNL cameo these days wearing some baseball cap he got free for signing up for life insurance something and those ridiculous sunglasses. It's like he's trying to hide. Breaks my heart...

Now this! Joshua Jackson is to play Fletch. I'd rather see Chevy Chase reprise the roll as an aged Fletch than anyone else attempting to do it. Oh well, there goes my face

Preach on Brother. There's a Team America analogy in there about Chevy being a dick and Jackson being a pussy, but I'll digress.
