: My bad.... I just found this site recently, so I hadn't heard. I should've known that the man wouldn't mess it up :)

: : At Vulgarthon last October Kevin came right out and said that Lee would be
: : his choice for Fletch.
: :
: : : Kevin, I first just wanted to say thank you for letting us fans have a
: : forum like this to talk with/about you and your great casts! I think you
: : are probably the best screenwriter around today, and a pretty good director
: : to boot.
: : : That being said, I have heard that you are going to start up the Fletch
: : franchise after JSBSB. I was wondering what kind of ideas you had for the
: : casting of the main character. I noticed that you will be starting with a
: : movie in which Fletch is a young man. I was thinking to myself that the
: : most amazing find in actors in the 90's was probably that of Jason Lee. A
: : skateboarder???? Who in the thier right mind would cast this man in a
: : lead, when he hasn't done any kind of work. Well, you did... and I must
: : say THANK YOU for getting him into the business. He is a wonderful,
: : wonderful actor and a Hell of a nice guy from the interviews that I have
: : seen/heard. Why don't you just cast Mr. Lee as Fletch and watch your first
: : blockbuster take shape? Please, please, please consider this... unless you
: : have the next 'Jason Lee' hiding away somewhere, I think it would be the
: : best choice.
: : : Oh, and as for my name... just paying homage to Chasing Amy... my fav DVD
: : that I own.... How dare you cut that scene man! Afleck and Lee were money
: : baby!
: : : Good luck shooting JSBSB.... I'm glad it's going well... and fuck anyone
: : that doesn't understand what a brilliant eye you have for casting.
