: mostly based on account of the size of his chin. : : : Current voting taken from the Yahoo Upcoming Movies Site. : : : : : Jason Lee 28% (1650 votes) : : Okay, so these 1650 people pay to go see "Fletch Won" with Jason Lee (I'd be one of them), : : and the movie has an opening box office weekend of about $16,500 - which makes "Gigli" : : look like a hit by comparison. : : The problem with any interne polling is how marginalized the studios feel the 'net audience : : is. For example, if the studios took the 'net audience seriously, Bruce Campbell would be : : playing Fletch. And Superman. And he'd be in the new "Star Wars" flicks. And every other : : movie. : : The fact of the matter is, no matter how vast the 'net audience may seem, it's actually only a : : small percentage of the potential audience a movie has when released into the marketplace : : (I mean, based on this site, you'd imagine our flicks would gross one hundred million bucks; : : but alas, we hit thirty and it's all over). There are a world of folks out there who, believe it : : or not, have never heard of Lee. But they've heard of Will Smith, Ben Affleck, etc, etc. And : : while having a big name in your picture is no guarantee the studio will even make its money : : back (witness the aforementioned much-maligned "Gigli"), historically, it's better insurance : : that the movie will earn, based on the following any particular actor has. : : So this polling stuff or signature campaigns (and internet signature campaigns are even : : more specious, because there are ways for one guy to stuff produce as many names as he : : can think up, if it's a name-only document) will mean very little to any studio, unless you : : can produce not just one, but TWO million unique, individual signatures with valid contact : : information of people who are willing to swear on the lives of their children that they will : : absolutely stay away from any "Fletch" movie WITHOUT Lee in it. : : Or, y'know, y'all could've went to see "A Guy Thing", or "Stealing Harvard" and powered them : : to blockbuster status. : : Regardless, there are 74,447 registered users at this site (some of whom are folks with : : multiple handles). So let's be generous and round that off to 60,000 folks who would kill or : : die to see Lee play "Fletch". Get all their signatures and info, and you've only got 940,000 : : more people to get before you're halfway to making Harvey Weinstein MAYBE think twice : : about casting Lee.
