I'm sorry to see Lee isn't going to be in it, but oh well. Stealing Harvard makes me want to inflict physical harm on myself. It's a shame, but I'm glad to see the movie getting made. As for the possible actors, here's my two cents:

Ben Affleck - I'd watch this guy in anything. I'm curious to see what Kevin's talking about with the "real ben" comment. I can see Ben doing it, but I can't help but picture him in the Alston Chambers role. Speaking of which, who is gonna play Alston?

Brad Pitt - I love the idea. Watching his few minutes in True Romance shows he can do comedy (sorry, not a fan of The Mexican. Not his fault, just dont like the movie).

Will Smith - While certainly not the most likely of picks, I think Smith is my top choice now that Lee is out. I think he could do Fletch perfectly.

Jimmy Fallon - Like him in Almost Famous, hated him on SNL. I don't know about this pick.

Adam Sandler - I don't know. I like him and his movies a lot, and he shocked me in Punch Drunk Love, but this role doesn't seem right for him.

Regardless, I'm happy. And just cause this is getting rolling again, here's my old cast wishlist for the film:

Fletch - Covered above.
Barbara - Natasha Gregson Wagner (I love her and want her in every movie that's ever made)
Biff Wilson - Alec Baldwin or William Forsythe
Frank Jaffe - Chevy Chase or Jim Belushi
Tom Farliegh - I used to have Michael Jeter, now that he's gone, I don't know.
Alston Chambers - Mark Wahlberg, since Ben may have Fletch
Louise Habeck - Anne Bancroft (She did it so well in Great Expectations, I pictured her the entire time)
Robert Habeck - Brian O'Halleron (I pictured our Dante as the unforgiving son/monk.)
Nancy Habeck - Don't know.
Cindy - Stacy Dash (sure, she killed her career with the Clueless tv show, but she was great in Mo Money)
Marta - Rene Russo (she may be too old, but I saw her as I read)
Jasmine - Lisa Kudrow (Sometimes she looks great, other times, she doesn't. Fletch commented on how she looked different up close. Lisa could pull it off)
Lieutenant Gomez - Michael Rooker (Honestly, I didn't know who to pick for this one, so I chose Rooker because he was in Mallrats.)
Felix Gabais - ??? Pick someone
Stuart Childers - same as above.
