– ‘Murder, She Wrote’ movie adaptation in development
– No confirmed casting for Jessica Fletcher role
– Fans speculate on potential actresses to play iconic character
A film adaptation of the classic crime series “Murder, She Wrote” is under development, and as of now, the big question is: who will step into Angela Lansbury’s shoes to play amateur sleuth Jessica Fletcher? The iconic character, portrayed by Lansbury in the original series, has several fans speculating about possible contenders.
A while back, an attempted reboot of the series with Octavia Spencer attached failed to move forward, leaving the role open for others to potentially try their hand at bringing the beloved character back to life. There is no shortage of beloved actresses who could potentially fill Fletcher’s shoes, from former Oscar winners like Spencer and Meryl Streep, to popular TV stars like Sarah Michelle Gellar or Lucy Lawless.
Ultimately, the decision to cast someone worthy of Lansbury’s legacy will depend on the right person to give a whole new generation of fans a reason to love the character as much as those who grew up with the original show. The anticipation surrounding the project is high, so it’s safe to say that all eyes will be on the final reveal of who will play the larger-than-life sleuth, Jessica Fletcher.
