Is A New "Fletch" Finally On The Way???According to Zach Braff (J.D. from "Scrubs"), it looks like "Scrubs" creator Bill Lawrence will be writing and directing "Fletch Won", a prequel to the classic Chevy Chase flick (singular, not plural because this never happened) that is easily among the top 5 comedies from the 80's.
As a bonus, it looks like Braff will be playing Irwin M. Fletcher himself...
"Scrubs" creator Bill Lawrence is in place to adapt and direct "Fletch Won," a project that would likely reunite him with series star Zach Braff.Lawrence is clearly a very talented director, and according to Braff, he's a huge "Fletch" fan.
This would be the first feature film project for Lawrence. The Weinstein Company hopes to have "Fletch Won" in production by April 2007 when "Scrubs" goes on summer vacation.
Based on the book by Gregory McDonald, "Fletch Won" is a prequel to the first seven books in the mystery-comedy series and the movie would be treated as a prequel to Chevy Chase's two "Fletch" films from the '80s.
Very good sign...
