The Fletch 'reboot' has been percolating so long that the highest profile named replacement Fletch [Sudekis] went from unknown to star to already aging out the role.

Fletch is a little different from all but Indiana Jones [which since the beginning has been a revival of the old weekly serials which has been around from the beginnning of cinema].

Fletch is a narrative property, with a number of novels at its disposal. So the closest analogy for it in terms of rebooting is Sherlock Holmes or Inspector Clouseau.
