BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE Featurette

Fletch Remake Is On The Way

David Mandel, one of the writers on Sacha Baron Cohen's upcoming comedy The Dictator, is in negotiations to pen Warner Bros.' new Fletch movie.


The studio picked up the movie rights to the Gregory McDonald mystery novels featuring investigative reporter Fletch in February for an adaptation to be produced by Anonymous Content's Steve Golin and Michael Sugar as well as David List, the manager of McDonald's estate.

No plot details were given, but Warners and the producers are aiming for a reimagining, not a remake of the 1985 Chevy Chase film or its sequel, and hope to make a smart action comedy that plays out on a bigger canvas than the previous movies. The project is said to be a high priority for the studio, and a great vehicle for an A-list comedy star. Sources said Mandel beat out several high-profile scribes for the opportunity to write the script.

The 11 mystery books, the first of which was published in 1974, center on a reporter named I.M. Fletcher who juggles writing exposes while avoiding headaches caused by his two ex-wives.

The book and its first sequel are the only novels to win back-to-back Edgar Allan Poe Awards, the prize handed out by the Mystery Writers of America.

Mandel was a writer-producer on Seinfeld and reunited with series co-creator Larry David when he worked as exec producer and director on David's Curb Your Enthusiasm. He also co-wrote and co-directed the DreamWorks comedy Eurotrip.

Sex Tape Review: Overly Sexual, Rude, Vulgar, and Absolutely Hilarious

The raunchy Sex Tape will divide audiences and critics, but who cares? Sex Tape suggests a growing practice among loving partners: that of making a raunchy testament of their escapades for posterity. But what happens when that evidence gets seen by friends, neighbors, and even the mailman? This is the plot that pits Jay (Jason Segel) and Annie (Cameron Diaz) in an effort to secure every iPad gift Jay has given, his record company playlists being the envy of the recipients, but which has also inadvertently spread the video to every device. The reason for the act - termed in the movie as pulling "the full Lincoln " for its three-hour length - stems from the couple's non-existent social life, brought on by the constant demands of their children. The couple has a lot to lose: a burgeoning business relationship between Annie and Hank (Rob Lowe) could end if the iPad she's given to Hank exposes the video, and so the couple sets out to reclaim and wipe the incrim
