Confess, Fletch Director Has Bad News About Sequel
The upcoming film Fletch’s Fortune, the sequel to Confess, Fletch by director Greg Mottola, has been canceled at Miramax. Mottola mentioned that recent changes in management at the studio have resulted in a decline of interest in the sequel. The movie, which cost approximately $20 million to produce, grossed less than $1 million at the box office. This was due to a simultaneous release on digital platforms and a swift transfer to Showtime and Paramount+. Despite its poor box office performance, it received great reviews and fans of Gregory McDonald’s sharp-witted investigative reporter have remained hopeful that its success on home video platforms could lead to a sequel. Unfortunately, Mottola had already begun writing the script for the follow-up.
