Comments on: Fletch Remake Back On Track https://www.themovieblog.com/2011/02/fletch-remake-back-on-track/ The Correct Opinion Sun, 05 Feb 2012 17:40:19 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Mark Wotton https://www.themovieblog.com/2011/02/fletch-remake-back-on-track/#comment-308483 Sun, 05 Feb 2012 17:40:19 +0000 http://themovieblog.com/?p=36733#comment-308483 I don’t look at this as a re-make of an 80’s movie so much as an adaptation of a 70’s book series. They do need to update the character if it is to work in this time period, he was a little bit too misogynistic. Also the “master of disguise” aspect of the film was never present in the books and shouldn’t be integral to the character. I can’t think of anybody who could play this character now. Ten years ago I would have cast Mathew McConaughey.
All in all I would love to see a new incarnation of Fletch. One that was closer to the books, not a straight out comedy for silly sakes but a mystery first with comedic moments.

I’ve always been partial to the German Expressionist era.

And if they were to remake Ferris Bueller, how would you feel? Just leave the original alone; it stands by itself. I agree the 80s had awesome movies, just leave them as they are, great movies.

reprise: Carrell’s being not funny in lead roles, he tolerable in bit roles (anchorman-lil’ miss sunshine) BUT as a lead, he cant carry a film alone.

just like Jeremy Piven (Alot more talented IMO) he wears out at about the 1 hour point when he takes the lead.

just sayin

Dinner w/ this Schmuck was painfull to sit thru for christ’s sakes.

enough of that (sorry)

Fletch…….. Really?
the first was O.K. at best cause of Chevy Chase, but the character does nothing for me.

just sayin’

Well, nobody’s planning to remake ‘Q, The Winged Serpent’ yet, or ‘St Elmo’s Fire’, just yet …so I guess we are still safe.

That’s because the 80’s is greatest decade in cinema…. so far
