: No fucking way! You can't do it!
Not only can they, They Will.
: Chevy Chase IS Fletch.
: Noone can replace him! Not even Jason Lee, not Ben Affleck... no fucking one! Of course I WILL see the film when it's released, but I can't imagine that I won't be thinking "Where the hell is Chevy Chase?" throughout it.
: You hear the name "Fletch" and Chevy's face pops into you mind!
: I know most people here will now say "What the fuck are you talking about?"
Actually I understand exactly what you are talking about. Chevy Chase is the first person who pops into my mind when I think of Fletch... But we all have to move on... Even Adam West couldn't play Batman forever. Sean Connery eventually had to give way to Roger Moore.
: to me, but that's because all of you people here on the board are such big fans of Kevin's that you just can't imagine a bad idea coming from him.
: I am a fan too, but I try to be as objective as possible.
So be objective about this. The movie business is a business, and a Fletch movie will sell more tickets with a young good looking Fletch than with an older one. You know Chevy Chase might not want to be in the movie. It wasn't like the Fletch movies were the high point of his carear. I think it was a role that caused him to be sterotyped and might have actually kept him from getting some better roles.
: That's my opinion! OK, let the bashing of me begin!
I'm not bashing you. Your opinion is protected by the 1st amendment. Don't let any of these wankers get to you.
