Did anyone really think they should've used Alec Guiness in Episode One? Or any of the other characters that were younger in Episode One? The Fletch movie, as far as the movie series is concerned, will be kind of like a prequel (I'm guessing it's like that, since I haven't read the book). So using Chevy Chase as Fletch is inconceivable. But if a franchise is made out of the New Fletch, and the next movie will take place nowadays, with Fletch being kind of an old fart, then Chevy would work. But for this one, Jason Lee all the way!!!!
Let's just hope this "Fletch Prequel" doesn't suck as much as the Star Wars variety......

: No fucking way! You can't do it!
: 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?"
: 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.
: That's my opinion! OK, let the bashing of me begin!
