Fletch Lives (Again)!

[J.M. Vargas]

WARNER WILL REBOOT FLETCH SERIES using the Gregory McDonald books as source. Didn't the big-screen adaptation of "Get Smart" already cover this type of comedy-action caper genre though?

[Dan Mancini]

There is little similarity between Get Smart and the Fletch series. The former is farce. The latter is mystery-comedy in the vein of the Thin Man flicks.

[Michael Stailey]

The books are quite good and ripe for screenplay adaptation... if handled well. The first two films were tailored to Chevy's comedic talents, and not truly representative of McDonald's character.

Given the long, tortured history of attempting to get a new Fletch series started (well documented in this Entertainment weekly article, I'm not holding my breath.

Thankfully, we were spared a Brett Ratner-Chris Tucker version of Fletch.

You know, I keep meaning to read these books, and keep forgetting to do so.

[HGervais]

The Fletch books are a lot of fun and ripe for a more faithful adaptation. I'd still love to see quality film versions of almost any of the Travis McGee novels by John D. MacDonald before that though. For me MacDonald is right up there with Raymond Chandler.
