THE OFFICE star John Krasinski is reported to be being considered for the role of Fletch in the proposed new movie, FLETCH WON. The actor, who plays Jim Halpert in the popular NBC series, spoke to MTV where he said that producers had already contacted him about the role, and that he has read the script.

"Oh, wow, thank you, that's such a huge compliment. My name was tossed around a little bit for the role, and it's something that [I might consider]. I have no idea [if they'll cast me. I've been shooting a movie down in North Carolina, so I've kind of lost touch with who [else] is in the running."

Krasinski added, "I mean, Chevy Chase not only created that role, but he did it pretty damn well. So [playing that character] is a scary situation. I don't know what's going on with it right now, but I am sure whoever does it will be fantastic. You just have to have some guts to do that. [Negotiating something like this] is a give or take kind of thing. I read the script, and it is hilarious. It's just one of those things that is so terrifying, to step up and be in a role that was done so perfectly."

The word is now that producers want to move ahead on the movie quickly to aim for a Thanksgiving 2008 release.

Jason Lee,  Ryan Reynolds,  Zach Braff and Joshua Jackson have all bee attached to the role, made famous by Chevy Chase, since the project was announced.
