21 years after Warren Beatty brought the comic book character Dick Tracy to life on the big screen, he is confirming that plans are in the works for a sequel film. Altho Beatty won’t go into specifics, he is making comments that make it clear that he is working behind the scenes on a sequel film. As you may recall, Dick Tracy starred Beatty in the lead role with Madonna as the female lead character Breathless Mahoney. It was the soundtrack of Dick Tracy that brought us the classic Madonna song Vogue. Click below to read what Warren Beatty has to say about his plans for a Dick Tracy 2.
Warren Beatty has confirmed a ‘Dick Tracy’ sequel in the works. The 74-year-old actor – who played the fedora-wearing detective in the 1990 movie, which he also directed – has admitted plans are in motion for a follow-up film, but doesn’t want to give too much information away because it’s “dumb” to talk about projects before they are made. He said: “I’m gonna make another one. I think it’s dumb to talk about movie 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” … Speaking at the Hero Complex Film Festival, he said: “I always think of making a movie like vomiting. I don’t like to vomit. But I get to a point sometimes where I think, ‘OK, I better go ahead and do this and I’ll feel better.’ “When I finally get around to making a movie, that’s why. I think I’ll feel better if I make this movie.” ‘Dick Tracy’ – which also starred Madonna and Al Pacino – made $162 million at the box office worldwide on its release.
Soooooo … basically, Warren Beatty is saying that even tho he “doesn’t like” it, he’s going to “vomit” out another Dick Tracy film. Well, that sounds appetiszing. Ugh. While I feel that Warren Beatty could’ve found a more eloquent way of expressing himself, I think I understand what he is trying to convey with his sentiments. That said … does the world really need another Dick Tracy film? There was something really old skool about the original film back in 1990 that (intentionally) made the film feel dated back then … and I don’t recall that many people were clamoring to see the film except for the fact that it starred real life couple Madonna and Warren Beatty (well, mostly because of Madonna). I guess I don’t know how another film like that might set the box office afire in this day and age. If he’s really taking about a sequel, does that mean that the 74-year old actor plans to play Dick Tracy again? Does he want Madonna to play Breathless again? If not, if he’s planning on new actors to play the roles … isn’t he really talking about a reboot? I, personally, enjoyed Dick Tracy. It’s not my fave film ever but I really did like it. I think the film suffered because it came out in 1990, one year after the first Batman film came out in 1989. Batman set a very high benchmark for Summer blockbuster films. I’m very curious about this Dick Tracy sequel, to be honest. What do y’all think? Are any of y’all fans of the original 1990 film? Are you interested in a sequel?
