Your wrong in that one thing about this looks good; Zach Braff. I trust that with writing duties he has enough control to put his distinctive (hilarious) stamp on it, with or without Diaz.

Ah, the sound of the story doesn't bother me, we all knew Zack & Miri would get together, but the jouney was rewarded with big laughs, whats to say that this won't be the same. I have hope (interest) for this with Braff at the helm. However I won't give it a moments thought if Diaz is actually in it. She's the worlds least funny woman (including my mother!). She's is in all these romantic comedies because she was in one good one, and she was the worst thing in TSAM. Someone should have put her joker face down along time ago.

Fletch starring Braff will be awesome. It will happen.

Garden State may have been better than most debuts, but it's his personal movie, and it's usually the case that most directors just don't have anything beyond their personal movie. After they get that story out of their system, they might not have anything left.

Or maybe he needs to get within the studio system and play the game. Make a generic comedy, then make a passion project, rinse, repeat.

You may be right, but nothing about this project looks good. I agree with you on Garden State as well as The Last Kiss, but neither of them made any real money. Traditional (as in stupid) romantic comedies usually do… just look at Diaz's last one "What Happened In Vegas"… $80 million domestic. I'll get off the hate train (which is really more of a disappointed realist train anyway) if and when I hear Braff's rewrite addresses both the obvious nature of the story and the removal of Diaz.
