Kevin Smith leaves FLETCH WON

Although he’s talked about the project for years, Kevin Smith is no longer attached to FLETCH WON. “The movie is going to be made, and if all goes as planned should be in production in early ‘06. Second, and correctly, Kevin Smith is no longer affiliated with the Fletch film as writer or director”, said David List, producer of the film.  “His type of comedy just isn’t FLETCH. It’s not that Kevin isn’t talented or funny. It’s just that his comedic style, ultimately, proved to not translate well for FLETCH, at least as I and Harvey felt. Keep an open mind. There’s lot’s of very funny writers out there”.  List say there should be an announcement in the near future about a new writer and director for the film. He also hints that there is a good possibility that Chevy Chase will return to play the lead.
