: 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?
When Kevin was attatched to Fletch before, Jason Lee's name was mentioned. I think it was in regards to who Kevin could see playing Fletch's son, or something. I'm not sure Kevin would've had any input into casting anyway. My point is, the only name that's EVER been mentioned on here by kevin in regards to a fletch project was jason lee's. Not that that means anything now, but when Kevin was going to write it before there was no automatic assumption or even public suggestion that Affleck would be involved. So why would u assume that now?
