Mystery News
Jamie Lee Curtis is in early talks with Universal Studios to portray Jessica Fletcher in an upcoming Murder, She Wrote movie. Curtis could take over the role of Jessica Fletcher, the retirement-age crime writer turned sleuth made famous by Angela Lansbury.
While Curtis is a fantastic actress and has a lengthy film resume including Linda Drysdale in the original Knives Out, we’re not convinced she’s the best choice to play J.B. Fletcher. What say you clued in listeners? Give us your opinion and we’ll report back on the findings.
