Jon Hamm is all set to produce and feature in Fletch reboot with a 21st-century twist to the journalist character. The 49-year-old will play the investigative reporter M. ‘Fletch’ Fletcher, who was portrayed by Chevy Chase in the classic 1985 movie. In the Chase movies, Fletch is a man of multiple disguises who sought to get to the bottom of a story.
The project will be helmed by director Greg Mottola of Superbad fame. The script is written by Zev Borrow. Hamm will serve as a producer with manager Connie Tavel. It will be distributed by Miramax. Tavel said, “Producing this film with Jon has been a longtime dream and with Zev and Greg on board to write and direct, I really believe that this will be an exciting and modern re-imagining of this beloved character.”
Bill Block, Miramax CEO said, “Fletch’s duration over audiences – whether told on paper or the big screen – entertains all and we could not be thrilled to see what 21st century twist these artists create.”
