Is Dick Tracy SUCH a hot property that it's worth this to retain the rights?

Is Dick Tracy SUCH a hot property that it's worth this to retain the rights? He wants to be the one to make any future movies with it... despite being way too old for the role at the moment. It's why a new movie or tv show isn't going to happen even with Warren having hte rights.

I remember the original one of these. I can't believe he did another one this year.
BTW, has Beatty ever given his opinion on the strips "Space Adventure" years? Because I'd be all for a wacky sci-fi Dick Tracy movie with Moon people and Space Coupe's and the like.

I can think of like....10 actors going right now who would kill it as Tracy. it is pretty shitty. Tribune tried to sue him to get the rights back because they wanted to make a tv show, and were basically pointing out that he didn't do anything with the rights from 1990 to like 2004... the "special" he aired in early 2000s was pretty much the same thing as today's an obvious cash grab to get something out so he can claim that he wasn't sitting on it for over a decade. Somehow he won, so because of that he did it again now and will likely do it every 10 years until he dies.

He's been doing nothing with it for over 30 years, what's the point?

Someone make a deal with the Al Capp estate so we can just make a Fearless Fosdick movie and pretend that it's a Dick Tracy reboot.

Saw the thread title cut off.
Thought it said “So, Warren Beatty has a bizarre Dick...”

Is Dick Tracy SUCH a hot property that it's worth this to retain the rights? Considering no one under the age of 40 has any clue who or what a Warren Beatty is, nevermind Dick Tracy. Like those idiots who bought "property" on the Moon, they own something no one cares about.

If Beatty let anyone do anything with it they could have at least tried to make something like a TV show or something to give some eyes on it. But again Jeff rather just sit on the property rather than anyone else get a chance to do anything with it mostly out of spite.

Isn't Dick Tracy from the 30's? I had the terrible NES game and saw the movie, but that was what? 1991?

It was that odd period immediately after Batman ‘89 where Hollywood execs misinterpreted the craze not as desire for more comic book superheroes, but pulp characters from the 1930s. It took them about six years to finally work it out of their system.

I've said it before but a new Dick Tracy movie starring Jon Hamm would rule
