The problem with Michael Ritchie’s 1985 film “Fletch” is that it’s a perfectly good ’80s Chevy Chase action-comedy and a very bad adaptation of Gregory McDonald’s Edgar-award-winning mystery novel. It’s a dichotomy that becomes clear if you’re one of the many, many ’80s kids (hello) who watched “Fletch” on video and HBO so many times we memorized it and then went to read the book – and its ten (ten!) follow-ups – and discovered they were something different altogether.

Despite being mostly known for his work in the ‘Vacation’ franchise, Chevy Chase’s talent is probably fully on display best in his “Fletch” films. The features follow the story of a journalist/ex-marine that investigates all sorts of mysteries, leading to plenty of comedic hijinks. And now, it appears that “Fletch” is returning, more than 30 years after the last film, but without Chase in the lead role.

It’s been about five years since Greg Mottola made a feature-length movie, 2011’s sci-fi comedy “Paul,” but the “Superbad” director has remained busy directing the HBO movie “Clear History” starring Larry David, Jon Hamm and more.
