Fletch gains writer and director

Fletch.jpgThe return of Fletch may well happen as it has just been announced that a writer\director has been attached to the movie, and it looks more certain that Zach Braff will be headed towards the role.

From Coming Soon we hear that Scrubs creator Bill Lawrence will take up the joint role of writer and director for the next two Fletch films, my they are hedging their bets, so that earlier rumours of Zach Braff taking over the role from the legendary Chevy Chase look even more certain.

Fletch was quite something, and I remember laughing a hell of a lot when I was watching it, the question is will Braff fill Chase's shoes? Frankly I don't think there's even a question about that one, I can't think of anyone who is even close to the style of Chase, do you?

I would have really gotten a kick out of the Kevin Smith version starring Jason Lee which never came to happen. Instead we got Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back and Jersy Girl....

That's a shame.

Yes, this project was originally a Kevin Smith deal. Of course Smith was planning on creating the part for no one other than Jason Lee. I personally feel that Lee would have nailed the cockyness of Fletch much better than the quarky Braff.

Fletch is an overly confident reporter who enjoys nothing more than belittling others, being sarcastic to the point of offensive, and chasing women.

Lee we already know can handle the quick wit of the Fletch character, but I'm nervouse about Braff.

Though I think Jason Lee would have filled the shoes for Fletch better than Braff, I think that perhaps he can pull it off. Honestly, it will be a bit of a stretch for him, but stretching is good! (hm, most of the time anyway.)
