Sequel to 'Confess, Fletch' Officially Shelved

Director Greg Mottola cites leadership changes at Miramax and poor box office performance as reasons for the project's cancellation.

Greg Mottola confirmed the sequel to 'Confess, Fletch' will not proceed due to a shift in Miramax leadership.
The original film, starring Jon Hamm, struggled at the box office despite positive reviews.
Mottola and Hamm had treated the film as a passion project, even contributing part of their salaries to extend filming.
The rights to the 'Fletch' series remain with Miramax, complicating future adaptations.
Mottola is now working on the second season of James Gunn's 'Peacemaker' series.
