	Kevin Smith Off of Fletch
		Kevin Smith doing the next Fletch film (Fletch Won) has been one of the few projects in development that I've been really excited about.
		Posted by: Lou_Sytsma at October 3, 2005 02:22 PM well as said before...kevin knew a long time ago that the studio didn't want Lee as Fletch...so it was kevin himself that started talking about Braff as Fletch...they did meet and talk about the film and Braff wanted to do it...
		Second, and correctly, Kevin Smith is no longer affiliated with the Fletch film as writer or director", says David List, the film's producer, to IMDB and NewsAskew.

	FLETCH WON
		Dog har Lee været nødt til at vinke farvel til en hovedrolle i Smiths kommende film »Fletch Won«, fordi filmselskabet Miramax har besluttet, at de vil have et større navn til rollen.
		På fansiden fletchwon.net kan man nu læse et interview med Chevy Chase og hans tanker om Fletch Won.
		Taken off a case when his subject ends up dead, Fletch continues his investigation regardless, which puts him in conflict with just about everyone, including the police, his boss, other reporters, etc. Along the way, he also hones the art of disguise that will later become his trademark...

	"Fletch Won" now... October? - www.ezboard.com
		Fletch Won has been going on for a while now, first it was Jason Lee, Ryan Reynolds, who knows, be a good choice though.
		You dont have to have to be a so-called "hardcore fan" of Fletch to like the franchise, but I think if people started noticing the franchise (read the books, watched the films) they would realize and have a different perception on what a great character of fiction and how exciting this project could be.
		Smith is not the most dependable person around...I met him once in the late 90's at a film lecture he was doing and I asked about the Fletch film, and he said that you have to use Chevy as he put it, "Chevy is Fletch." Of coarse this was 6 or 7 years ago.

	The View Askewniverse - News - Miramax and Kevin Smith Fetch 'Fletch' for Franchise
		The first "Fletch" book that Smith is considering adapting for the screen is "Fletch Won." Smith plans to be in production on the new "Fletch" film after he directs a yet-to-be announced project for Miramax in the fall.
		Fletch, the flip shamus of Gregory McDonald's comic mystery series, has found a new home at Miramax, and a new patron saint in Kevin Smith.
		For those of you who refer to this as 'Fletch 3' and think this is a crap idea because you hate the 'Fletch' movies: you're a little misinformed.

	Ain't It Cool News: The best in movie, TV, DVD, and comic book news.
		I won't see this film if Chevy Chase isn't Fletch.
		The original novel won an Edgar Award as Best Mystery Novel of the year when it was published, so it was gratifying to see that the focus in the first film remained squarely on the mystery aspect.
		Starting with FLETCH WON is brilliant, and it sets you up for any other book you want to do.

	Laker Jim's Fletch Poll
		I thank GOD that he wont be in Fletch and it is the smartest move he's ever made, and is really considerate of the fans.
		I agree that Jason Lee is the only option to play Fletch, but he says he is not interested.
		Maybe the film being pushed back is a good thing, because now Jason might have more time to go about his business before stepping into a big comedic role.

	Cinephiles Discussion Forums: Kevin Smith?
		I truly cannot wait for his new Fletch film(Fletch Won), and although I love Jason Lee, I really think its gonna be hard for him to stand up to the amazing job Chevy Chase pulled in Fletch and Fletch Lives.
		His next project (as I mentioned earlier) is Fletch Won, (surely you remember the old Fletch films?) anyhow it is about fletcher going on his first assignment...
		In his defense, I heard that after he filmed DOGMA Kevin Smith actually joined the protesters standing outside the theatre to protest the film.

	News Askew: [Talk Back!]
		There's been lots of talk in the last year that screenwriter/director Kevin Smith wanted Jason Lee to play the new Irwin Fletch in the upcoming "Fletch Won" movie which was supposed to be a prequel of sorts, following a younger Fletch solving his first case.
		And finally today, an interesting piece on Fletch Won from ComingSoon.net.

	Fletch
		Smith has held the film rights to the book series for a while now, and has been recently quoted as saying "I actually learned to write dialogue by reading Mcdonald's Fletch books."
		Fletch, at least when we initially meet him, is a hotshot LA-based newspaper reporter beset by a hypertense and demanding editor, two ex-wives hungry for alimony (although arguably hungrier for Fletch himself), and a coterie of military men determined to award Fletch a Bronze Star he doesn't want.
		But Mcdonald is a lean, economical stylist, and even the least of the Fletch novels flies along at a breakneck pace, with wit, panache and subversive mischief to spare.

	Fletch Won (aka Fletch 3)
		Fletch Won is likely to be Smith’s next feature, after JSBOB, though whether he can fit it in before the SAG strike is highly unlikely.
		Bringing the "slacker film" chapter of his career to a close, writer/director/actor Kevin Smith looks to usher the next of the FLETCH feature films to the big screen.
		Helmer Kevin Smith finally put the record straight - the new Fletch movie would be a prequel to Fletch and Fletch Lives, showing Fletch as a cub reporter, so there really was no role for Chase, unless they used a flash-forward as a framing device.

		Unlike the film, the two stories Fletch chases don't come together in any meaningful way, but the chase is in and of itself fun.
		Fletch, the character, is the typical wandering man. A drudge-reporter, twice divorced, dodging alimoney, sliding from romance to romance, hardly earning enough to get by but good at what he does, Fletch is a modern noir hero.
		In Fletch the movie Chevy Chase travels all over the place, impersonating people, using crazy aliases, breaking and entering etc. But in the book most of the aliases and investigation is done through phone calls at his office or from his apartment.
