I don't think it will be Affleck. Kevin won't follow up a Ben flick (Jersey Girl) with another Ben flick.
I don't think it will be Ferrell. My guess is he is the star of Ranger Danger.
Matt Damon would work beautifully, but I don't think his schedule allows for it.
No way Mewes can pull it off. The reason Lee kept getting denied was that Miramax wanted a bigger name. Mewes doesnt offer that.
So, unless it is Stifler, I don't see Fletch as coming from a former View Askew flick.
Also, I really cant see Brad Pitt in the role. Unless Kevin is doing a major rewrite, the role really calls for a late 20s - early 30 year old. Remember, Fletch Won takes place before Fletch.
All this being said, I think they are going to go with Jimmy Fallon. I hope not, but its the only name I have heard that makes sense. Personally, I think Ryan Reynolds is a much better fit.....
