Fletch is a 1985 American neo- noir comedy thriller film directed by Michael Ritchie and written by Andrew Bergman and is based on Gregory Mcdonald's popular" Fletch" novels. The film revolves around Los Angeles Times reporter Irwin M." Fletch" Fletcher( Chevy Chase), who is offered a large sum of money to kill a millionaire( by the millionaire himself) who supposedly has a terminal cancer prognosis. Fletch becomes suspicious when he discovers the man is not ill; when he continues to investigate, his life is threatened. In the late 1970s, Burt Reynolds, Jeff Bridges, Charles Grodin and Barry Bostwick were among those considered to play Fletch. The original producer, Jonathan Burrows, also wanted Richard Dreyfuss after Chevy Chase, his high school classmate, initially rejected the part. George Segal was at one point considered but turned it down. Chase years later told Burrows that he never knew about the original offer and that it was his then manager who rejected it. In a 2004 interview with" Entertainment Weekly", Chase confirmed this was his favorite and most successful part. " Fletch" did well with critics and at the box office- it was among the top 50 grossing domestic films in its first year of release. It has since developed an enormous cult following and was followed by a 1989 sequel," Fletch Lives". A prequel," Fletch Won", has been in development for over two decades. From July 1976, when Burrows first acquired the rights to the novel from Columbia Pictures, virtually every Hollywood studio rejected it. Some rejected it more than once. In the late ‘ 70s- early -‘ 80s Burrows, trying a new tack, changed the title and put the script in a different colored binder- but still there were no takers. Those studios included United Artists, MGM, American International Pictures, Orion, CBS Television, EMI Films, Allied Artists, Zanuck/ Brown Productions, First Artists Productions, Warner Brothers, Penthouse Productions, Paramount, Lorimar, General Cinema Corporation, 20th Century Fox and more, even Universal Studios, the company who eight years later produced and distributed it. Burrows credits Michael Douglas( who much earlier was considered for the lead) for having the foresight and wherewithal to get the film made. <SEP> "For other people named Jonathan Burrows, see Jonathan Burrows (disambiguation)."
