    Nobody.

    The original remains the singular monument to Chase's career.

    Been downhill, ever since.

    He's doing OK on Community now, but he was down for a long, long time.
     
  3. Have to agree with the others that Fletch is a classic, so says my friend Mr John Cocktoasttoy (sp?)
    God forbid they let Will Ferrell anywhere near this. Much like Springsteen and Dylan, I just don't get all the Will Ferrell love. Nope, don't see it.

    No to Ferrell. Please no to Steve Carrell.

    Fletch still remains my favorite comedy movie ever. Chase owned that role. But, he has sucked since.

    I don't know who would be good in that role.

    Hell, bring Chevy back for it.

    Anyone have the Fletch DVD? There's a really good little documentary, lots of interviews with the cast. But apparently Chevy refused to be interviewed for it. I guess this was still in his bitter phase. Or is he distancing himself from Fletch, the same way John Cusack apparently - and improbably - hates Better off Dead.

    Somebody mentioned Paul Rudd. I think he could work. He might be a little old if they do Fletch Won though.

    I'm not sure Rudd is cocky enough to play Fletch. He's definitely too old for Fletch Won, which in my opinion, is the best of the books by a thousand miles.

    Reynolds would have been so perfect.

    It's been a long time. Is it all still ball bearings these days?

    They'll have to carve that 2x4 into a couple canes for Joe Don Baker if they remake this one...

    Was watching SportsCenter the other day and Josh Elliott made a handful of Fletch references. Never gets old.

    Apparently Joel McHale is at the top of the wishlist to play him.

    I think McHale would be awesome.
