Not really a good fit for the role ... then again, the movie will be
the usual awful reboot / resurrection garbage that is barely
recognisable anyway. :-(
I guess we should just be thankful it isn't PC-switched to be an Asian
gay man with a missing arm ... YET!
'Murder, She Wrote' Movie Eyes Jamie Lee Curtis
for Angela Lansbury's Iconic Role
-----------------------------------------------
Jamie Lee Curtis better bust out the doilies and contempo
casual trench coats - it seems she's headed to "Murder,
She Wrote."
Variety has confirmed that Oscar winner Curtis is in early
talks to play the iconic Jessica Fletcher, a crime writer
turned crack detective, who was at the center of the
long-running original TV series that starred Angela
Lansbury.
Universal Pictures is putting together an untitled feature
film project together around Fletcher, via producers Phil
Lord, Chris Miller and Amy Pascal (all have overall deals
on the Donna Langley-run studio lot).
Early concepts around the character and any premise are
currently unknown. The script is from Lauren Schuker Blum
and Rebecca Angelo (who penned "Dumb Money," the GameStop
stock scandal story which became a feature at Sony under
Craig Gillespie).
Representatives for Curtis and Universal had no immediate
comment on the matter.
Universal Television produced "Murder, She Wrote" which ran
for 12 seasons starting in 1984. Lansbury became a
household name thanks to her portrayal of an unusual
gumshoe, often in perilous situations but always polite and
clutching a sensible handbag. The series peaked at a
reported 40 million viewers a week, and still averaged
around 25 million per episode through the end of its run.
It's been nearly two years since Curtis nabbed the Academy
Award for best supporting actress for her performance in
"Everything Everywhere All at Once." She's currently on the
awards circuit for "The Last Showgirl," Gia Coppola's ode to
the faded glamour girls of the Las Vegas strip. She'll next
appear in James L. Brooks' "Ella McKay."
Deadline first reported the news of the Curtis talks.

It surprises me that we don't have a "Colombo" reboot yet. (Not that
I'd suggest Curtis for that!)

There are people interested in making it, including Mark Ruffalo
wanting to play the character, but the rights belong to NBC and
reportedly they are not interested (at the moment). ><https://entertainment.ie/tv/tv-news/mark-ruffalo-and-a-few-others-want-to-reboot-columbo-for-a-tv-miniseries-214120/>

Even if I liked Curtis, this would be the worst casting imaginable.

I really cannot disagree here. A more obvious(heh) choice would be
someone like Helen Mirren.
