“Dawson’s Creek” star has “Won” role
Former “Dawson’s Creek” star Joshua Jackson will lose the Caesar hairdo to play investigative reporter Irwin ‘Fletch’ Fletcher in Fletch Won”, says IESB.net.
The long-in-development film has also snagged the services of director Steve Pink (“Accepted”).
The long-gestating film has gone through more directors’ (Kevin Smith was originally on board) and actors’ (Everyone from Jason Lee to Brad Pitt, Ryan Reynolds and recently, Zach Braff) than Musso & Franks. In more recent times, “Scrubs” duo Bill Lawrence and Zach Braff were eyeing off the project. When Braff nixed the idea, Lawrence seemingly lost enthusiasm for the project.
‘Fletch’ is quite a coup for Joshua Jackson. Though he’s starred in a few movies – including “Bobby” and “The United States of Leland” – and was once on the short-list for Batman, the former WB fave is still without a big league membership. This should see to that. He’s quite a good actor too, and has a great dry sense of humour, so this should be a nice fit. Yeah, I like it.
As for the director…. Well, the jury’s still out.
