Former DAWSON’S CREEK actor JOSHUA JACKSON has reportedly beaten some of Hollywood’s biggest names to land the title role in FLETCH WON.

Jackson will play investigative reporter Irwin ‘Fletch’ Fletcher, a part made famous by Chevy Chase in the 1985 comedy Fletch and its 1989 follow-up Fletch Lives, according to website IESB.net.

Among the actors previously linked to the role were Brad Pitt, Jason Lee, Ryan Reynolds and Zach Braff.

Director Steve Pink has also signed up for the project, which was originally to be directed by Kevin Smith.
