Variety reports that the creator of Scrubs, Bill Lawrence, is writing and set to direct, a Fletch prequel, Fletch Won.
(the post title will suffice as commentary regarding said project)
(rule of thumb, prequels always suck!)
More prequel ideas, just in case Hollywood is thinking that they need to increase the suck
The 18 Year Old Virgin --- See the painful fumbling of the future 40 year old virgin back when he was a teenager (and to make it extra creepy, cast Catherine Keener as his mom).
Cabin Boy Jack Sparrow --- See the future Captain Jack's first voyage on the high seas. Rather than a rollicking family friendly adventure, this one will be a brooding exploration of a boy's journey into manhood surrounded by rum, sodomy and the lash. Sure Oscar Bait!
Pre-School Musical! --- After the surprise popularity of the Disney Channel film High School Musical!l, producers decide to take us way back to the mid 90s and see what these kids were like during their pre-school years.
When Harold Met Kumar --- Go back to the first encounter between Harold and Kumar as they score their first bag of weed together while at the same high school, along with other hilarious hijinx.
Clifford, The Early Years --- Because the first Clifford wasn't bad enough, an even older Martin Short will play an even younger Clifford. The stuff of nightmares, that.
Young James Tiberius Kirk and the Andorian Harem Girls --- A sex comedy / action adventure as a pre-starfleet James T. Kirk rescues a half-dozen blue buxom babes from the clutches of a despotic Andorian miner in a forgotten backwater of the Alpha Quadrant.
That's enough suggestions. The danger of making too many of these up is that at some point someone might read this and decide that these ideas are the perfect high concept vehicles to create exciting new revenue streams.

My thoughts on Fletch.
I've thought about revisiting the whole Fletch series and the major problems with it. Consider this a start.
