Jon Hamm brings the classic character Fletch back to theaters next month with Confess, Fletch. A trailer for the film has just been released.

Per the trailer’s description on YouTube, “In this delightful comedy romp, Jon Hamm stars as the roguishly charming and endlessly troublesome Fletch, who becomes the prime suspect in a murder case while searching for a stolen art collection. The only way to prove his innocence? Find out which of the long list of suspects is the culprit – from the eccentric art dealer and a missing playboy to a crazy neighbor and Fletch’s Italian girlfriend. Crime, in fact, has never been this disorganized.”

The reboot film was first announced in July 2020. Originally a popular series of mystery novels released int he 1970s, Fletch was famously adapted into two films, 1985’s Fletch and 1989’s Fletch Lives, both starring Chevy Chase as the titular character.

Confess, Fletch hits theaters on September 16 and features Hamm teaming up on screen again with his Mad Men co-star John Slattery. The film also stars Roy Wood Jr., Annie Mumolo, Ayden Mayeri, Lorenzo Izzo, Kyle MacLachlan and Marcia Gay Harden.

10 Fictional Dates from Movies Everyone Should Know

• October 3 (Mean Girls)

  This is a truly momentous date in all of cinema. October 3 is now unofficially called #MeanGirlsDay across all of social media.

• November 5, 1955 (Back to the Future)

  A true red-letter date, indeed. Even if you aren’t a Back to the Future superfan, you’re still at least aware of the importance of November 5, 1955.

• December 25, 1985 (Rocky IV)

  AKA: The day Rocky Balboa ended the Cold War. [Cues John Cafferty’s “Hearts on Fire”] In all seriousness, though, did anyone else find it weird Rocky and Adrian didn’t bring their son to Russia for the fight?

• December 24, 1988 (Die Hard)

  [Insert “Die Hard is a Christmas movie” rant here.] Again, in all seriousness, it’s hard to imagine action film history without this classic, regardless of where you fall in the Christmas film debate.

• February 14, 2016 (Ghostbusters II)

  “Valentine’s Day. Bummer.” Side note: Hey, the world didn’t end! How about that for a silver lining?!

• March 24, 1984 (The Breakfast Club)

  On this fateful day, a brain, an athlete, a basket case, a princess and a criminal served detention. Teen films were never the same. We’ll never forget about this John Hughes gem.

• April 8 (Empire Records)

  “We mustn’t dwell. No, not today. We can’t. Not on Rex Manning day!” Related thought: “Say No More, Mon Amour” is an undeniable bop. If you say otherwise, you’re simply lying to yourself.

• April 25 (Miss Congeniality)

  Honestly, Miss Rhode Island isn’t wrong. All you really need is a light jacket. Depending on where you live, you may not even need the jacket! What a perfect date, indeed!

• July 4, 1996 (Independence Day)

  “Perhaps, it’s fate today is the fourth of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom.” Independence Day is so delightfully over the top, and this scene below perfectly encapsulates its melodrama.

• August 29, 1997 (Terminator 2: Judgement Day)

  “On August 29, 1997, it’s gonna feel pretty f—ing real to you too!” A very dark scene, but on the plus side, there wasn’t an apocalypse in reality. So, yay?
