Beatty Takes Dick (Tracy) Trouble to Court
Apparently Warren Beatty is intent on making a sequel to "Dick Tracy," even if he has to sue someone to get it done. A recent court ruling stated that the suit could move forward, but Warren Beatty sure isn't getting any younger.
From IGN FilmForce: "Beatty sued the Tribune Co. in May 2005, claming he has owned the rights to the Chester Gould-created character since 1985 and stating that he still wishes to produce a sequel to a film that he made 16 years ago.
A judge in Los Angeles ruled Friday that the case can go to trial; Tribune's request to end the suit in their favor was rejected."
Beatty's 1990 rendition of "Dick Tracy" starred Madonna, Al Pacino, and Beatty himself, of course.

on Jul 20 2006 07:58 AM I thought Madonna Died when Big Boy shot her when she was dressed up as the Blank. Besides All the popular gangsters died. Flattop, Itchy, Big Boy, Small Face, PurneFace, So who else would come back? MUMBLES? 88 Keys? Numbers? Or Gruesome from the 1940's serial's? I didn't care for the first so I won't be in line for the second. (Reply to this) |

on Jul 22 2006 02:46 PM [b]I think Dick Tracy is underrated.[/b] I think Dick Tracy is underrated. Some great cinematography and production design. Not a big Beatty fan but I think the film works on an aesthetic level. They should make a prequel instead. (Reply to this) |

on Jul 22 2006 06:41 PM Is it just me or was the news topic "Beatty takes Dick trouble to court" hilarious! Ithought Beatty was suing Enzyte or Viagra for not living up to their commercials. As for more Dick, I'll pass. Beatty's Dick now could no way measure up to his gritty, hardnosed, entertaining Dick in 1990. I have no idea why anyone in their right mind would want to see Beatty's old, tired, yellow-capped Dick on screen in the future. However a prequel does have a smidgin of potential, but no where near the under appriciated original. (Reply to this) |
