Warren Beatty Doesn't Want to Let Go of Dick Tracy
Filed under: Old People > Legal Matters
He can't let go!
Warren Beatty has filed a lawsuit to keep the film and TV rights to the character Dick Tracy all to himself.
Just in case you forgot (or weren't old enough to remember) Beatty played the cartoon strip character in a movie with Madonna back in 1990.
He's had a license since 1985 to do stuff with the Dick Tracy character from the owners, Tribune Co.
In November of 2006, Warren promised Tribune that within 2 years he'd have projects revolving around Dick in the works once again and if not, Tribune could cancel the Dick loan deal.
Anyway, just before the 2 year mark, Madonna's former co-star started work on a Dick Tracy TV special.
This apparently looked like a lame last minute scramble to the Tribune folks because they moved to terminate the Dick deal with Beatty.
In legal records that just went public on Friday, the actor hit back and asked for a declaration that his work on the Dick Tracy TV special precludes Tribune from taking back the rights to the property.
What a mouthful!
Sheesh. After all this craziness Beatty better do some really good shizz with Dick.

hmm.
I didn't know Warren Beatty was still acting.
second
ha. it better be good or else just go home.
hummm…….
Warren Beatty was fantastic as Dick Tracy. Him and Madonna should get together and do another one. Maybe where he had really fucked Madonna and she had his kid..she lived in secret.
I want more, the graphics were kool.
I just woke up in a pool of my own vomit - what day is it?
Re: Productboy –
Let me guess. You are a drunken alcoholic? Right? Smoke weed, you don't get sick.
Back to Tracy, he is lazy and should get off his ass and do something. Where are the sequels to the first movie at?
I was just wondering if they were ever going to do anything else with Dick Tracy. Hope it all works out.
FUCK TRIBUNE FUCKERS!

THEY FUCKED UP THE LA TIMES!

THEY FUCK UP THE PLANET!

FUCK YOU TRIBUNE!
Dick Tracy is probably the worst movie Ive ever seen! Cant believe that Warren Beatty is holding on to this crap.
Dick Tracy isn't a marketable franchise. Let him have it.
Perez Hates Me ^^
I see a Dick Tracy sequel is on the way.
You need to ask Annette Bening if Beatty can do some really good shizz with dick.
MADONNA IS AMAZING.SO HOT ON THAT MOVIE
What a shitty movie with yet another shitty performance by Madonna. Dick Tracy is lame and needs to be put out to pasture. No one cares.
From what I've heard, Warren Beatty was a conceited asshole. Carly Simon's "You're So Vain" was supposed to be about him.
Warren Beatty was fantastic as Dick Tracy. Him and Madonna should get together and do another one…….I simply loved it…..
