Hollywood Royalty and DL Icon, Jamie Lee Curtis, Confirms ‘Murder, She Wrote’ Reboot In Works: “Oh, It’s Happening!"

Ugh. No thanks.

Great, looking forward to her histrionic Emmy campaign.

I'll be rooting for someone to murder Jessica Fletcher.

Some things don't need remaking. The beauty of the original was not just Angela, but the quirkiness of Cabot Cove and a top-notch supporting cast. Plus you had the creme de la creme of old Hollywood in supporting roles.

One of my greatest pleasures was watching Murder She Wrote with my mom and her filling me with stories of all the old stars that hadn't been in anything in decades. This should be a place for actors like Skipper to come back. I won't be happy if I'm not racking my brain to figure out who someone is and then delighted when I recognize them from Bosom Buddies or an old episode of Amen

FIFY.

Never understood why anyone would invite Fletcher anywhere since someone always ends up dead.

Didn’t Angela put the kibosh on a proposed reboot several years ago with Octavia Spencer? Too bad she’s no longer here to give her thoughts about this one.

R8, who owns the rights to M,SW? If the family does, are they the ones looking to make a buck with a re-boot? Angela may not have wanted a re-boot (with Octavia or anyone else), but her kids could be looking for cash.

Whose dumb idea was this?? Murder, She Wrote worked because of Lansbury. They’ll have her being chased by Michael Myers freaks. And a movie!? I doubt this will ever film but we’ll see.

Angela sold the rights to the show and said that it was one of the biggest mistakes of her life.

R5, it’s a movie, not a tv show.

Murder, She Woke.

Curtis has hit peak insufferable

What a cunt

Her ego has become as big as her dick.

How many people did Jessica kill in 12 years?

"Murder She Wrote": Dead on Arrival

I honestly couldn't have ever expected JLC to be an Oscar winner and to be at the peak of her career at this age.

Great for her - but nobody could have foreseen this. She talked multiple times about retiring in her career - and she always manages to stage a big comeback. Over and over again.

Never saw a single episode of MSW though.

I can't stand the cunt.

They tried this with Octavia Spenser and it didn't go anywhere.

R19 = Michael Myers, finally understood.

Get a life, Jamie Lee...

Why?

She's too dumb to play Jessica Fletcher.

The Case of the Hidden Shenis

She looks like she has booze bloat.

Murder, They Wrote

The Octavia Spencer one was going to be a complete reboot. Jessica Fletcher was going to be a nurse in San Francisco who started writing mysteries in her spare time. That's what Angela objected to. She felt since they were changing it so much, why did they need to make her be Jessica Fletcher?

So they changed it and made "Truth Be Told," and Octavia did a murder podcast rather than writing books. Her character name was Poppy Parnell.

And the publicity photos for her starring role in the series remake, can be of her beaming at the camera while holding up her Academy Award! 😁

Will this feature old Hollywood stars like the original?

This and Matlock are what I termed “old people shows” when they were prime time. Now I’m old, but I still wouldn’t watch them.

She was born of two famous actors, it's in her blood. I don't mind cutting her some slack.

They must be trying to recreate what Kathy Bates did for Matlock.

The difference, of course, is that everyone loves Bates.

[quote] it’s a movie, not a tv show.

R12, we all know that they’re using this “movie” as a test run to see how well it does with viewers before turning it into a series.

Alok Vaid-Menon is in negotiations to star as her sidekick.

I think a reboot is confirmed only in her head.

Which one?

Unless you have the old washed-up stars, there's nothing to watch. Now people seem to have longer careers and if they don't do streaming, they do voice, so there isn't the large number of people whom you thought were dead and the one's the could cast would be those from series tv, Bonnie Franklin-level actors.

Production crew will quickly get tired of her cunt “artistic perfectionist” bullshit. and shut it down.

May happen-Won't last.

I used to like that actress but she is too ill to enjoy.

OP your headline should read Academy Award Winner Jamie Lee Curtis

Let’s identify the main characters! I’ll start:

Jessica has a young black female assistant.

The Police Chief of Cabot Cove is a tall black trans woman!

Jessica is bi

Jamie Lee Curtis as Jess Fletcher in "Murder, She? Wrote".

Jamie Lee Curtis is better suited to play Mary Worth than Jessica Fletcher.

I love Bates, r33. I used to think I could watch her in anything. Matlock is an exception to that rule. I tried, but the writing is horrible. Her character is unlikeable in an unwatchable way.

I have no interest at all in MSW.
