Dick Tracy would be great as a TV series.... If Beatty made the pitch I’m more than willing to wager Disney would produce a live acted Dick Tracy series for Disney+ using the aesthetic of the movie. They’d probably pay him a decent chunk of change and toss him a production credit, he could maybe leverage himself a say in the scripts, casting, etc. but he will never, ever, e-v-e-r play the lead again. They could maybe have him put in cameos as the police chief or Dick Tracy’s father. But he will never accept that he can’t be the lead. |

on the "it's an old property that not many people care about in the mainstream" is mostly because Beatty has sat on the tv and movie rights... the comics have always sold decently well for comics but Comics are niche...
Also I remember the Simpsons and the Critic making Warren Beatty is old jokes in the 90's...
so even at the time of the 90's movie it was thought he was a bit too old to play Tracy, he did a good job but he was clearly playing someone at least 30 years younger than himself.
regardless he most certainly is too old now at 85 to play him.

There is the Paul Thomas Anderson story where Beatty was offered the Jack Horner role that eventually went to Burt Reynolds in Boogie Nights and dropped out because he actually wanted to instead play the Dirk Diggler role that went to Mark Wahlberg. Apparently, Warren Beatty is more than willing to cast himself a 'little' younger. |

Hear me out. Instead of a new Dick Tracy movie, a Duck Twacy movie instead.

But let's not forget this about Dick Tracy: he's a good cop.

It's too bad that Warren won't give up the rights, since the WWE top brass would be great casting in a reboot.  |

It took me nearly 30 years to see Littleface as he was intended. I always saw him as having a normal man sized face with like a giant blob head around him and not a normal sized head with a very small face.
