Warren Beatty Says DICK TRACY Sequel & Blu-ray Are on the Way
After recently winning the film rights to the character from Tribune Co., the veteran actor and director revealed his plans for a follow-up to the 1990 project and it's home release.
Warren Beatty produced, directed, and starred in the original comic book adapted film, which features supporting roles from Al Pacino, Dustin Hoffman, Madonna, Glenne Headly, and Charlie Korsmo. Dick Tracy depicts the detective's his conflicts with crime boss Alphonse "Big Boy" Caprice as well as his love relationships with Breathless Mahoney and Tess Truehart and his upbringing of "The Kid".
At the LA Times Hero Complex Film Festival last night, Beatty revealed a few minor details about his plans to bring Dick Tracy back to audiences.
When asked if a sequel was on the way:
“I’m gonna make another one [but] I think it’s dumb to talk about movies before you make them. I just don’t do it. It gives you a perfect excuse to avoid making them. The more you talk about it, the longer it’s hidden."
If the sequel employ the same practical effects from the first film or go digital:
"That’s a conversation I have with my [production team] and the conversation goes on and on and on. I can tell you that the matte paintings [from the first film], they move me."
Beatty also confirmed that a remastered Blu-ray of the 1990 film is in the works, but didn't share anymore details about it.

Hmm...isn't he a little old to star in it himself? Besides, the concept itself is rather dated. it was novel back in the day, but i doubt modern audiences are gonna take it seriously.
What the hell, the original was awesome! bring it!

For me, at least, the novelty was having all those awesome actors go full on campy with the characters. I doubt they could recreate that movie magic today. Bring on the remastered Blu-ray! I'll pass on the sequel

it would be cool in my oppinion to get guys like DeNiro, Pesci, Liotta, Mark Strong and then just go nuts with their practical makeup and have them go full out camp.
get a huge cast of new guys who are real famous and then do the same thing this go-around. it would be delicious.

If was other director or a producer what just wants money i'll be worried, but Warren Betty is not the kind of guy what does movies just for cash, he really likes what he works.I need this blu ray!

I agree. I think we need this type of film nowadays.

I loved this movie as a kid. If they can capture the same essence the first one had, more power to them!

i have the first one on VHS. it was a staple of my childhood as well. I went back to re-watch it and I forgot that Madonna was a such an idiot in this film. Best part is when Pacino slaps her around. highlarious
