: the person who will star as fletch will not be anyone who has been in an askewniverse film. it's just the way it is.
I think Mewes should definitely be in the movie, but not as Fletch...
: unless it's gonna be chris rock
Chris Rock would be HORRIBLE as Fletch! *mortified expression*
: : I know Ben Affleck will eventually get the role, and I know he would do a great job, but I think Jason Lee would be great in 'Fletch Won'. (Not like I've ever read the book though. So feel free to dismiss my opinion when you're ready.) I've been a fan of Jason Lee ever since I first saw 'Mallrats' and Banky was my favorite character in 'Chasing Amy', so I'm a bit biased. Then again, why should every big role go to Ben Affleck?
I cannot see Ben Affleck as Fletch... He can do comedy, but he doesn't have that comic presence... A mischievious smirk on his face is not enough to bring a person into laughter (unless it's one of those scary giggly fangirls. *shudders* They're RABID!). Jason Lee could pull it off, I think... He's got that something for comedy roles, all right...
But you know, since this isn't a View Askew movie, maybe... just maybe... It won't have all askew charaters and Jay and Silent Bob pop ups and lots of Jersey innuendos. Y'know?
