Is Dick Tracy Heading Back To The Big Screen?

Sweet. Loved the first one.

haha Dick Tracy is actually one of my favorite CBM's. You know you've done something right when you can make a yellow trench coat look THAT badass

This is exactly what we need, another tried and true story that has already been done before. Who needs to be original when we have old content right in front of us. In fact, why don't we just ban original stories in Hollywood altogether. Wait!!! They already did that!

i hope Warren Beatty doesn't plan on wearing the
yellow trench coat this time. he's gotta be in his
60's.

remember playing this on my snes.. LOVED IT!

Al Pacino's over the top (even for him) performance as Big Boy Caprice was classic. And this movie wasn't bad BUT it was too heavy on the camp,(ala Adam West Batman), for my taste. Although in retrospect I guess it couldn't be helped, being that the rogues gallery of Tracy villains are so stylized in their comic iterations. It WAS very true to the comics and with a few tweaks could have been awesome.

It also pushed the violins and melodrama button too much as well. I chalk that up to Beatty's fling with Madonna clouding his judgement on this one. As she played Breathless Mahoney in this while they were playing footsie in her trailer. (See Madonna's "Truth or Dare" which shot at the same time for Beatty's scene where he chastises her for the cameras following her everywhere in an early example of "reality tv, only an ironic movie version.)

The one thing that cracks me up in this movie is the actress playing Tess Trueheart,(Glenne Headly, who by no means is ugly), is portrayed as being hot, but in a plain, down to earth, girl next door, kind of way. She IS that decades Cate Blanchett. The current actress who is portrayed as being hot,(Robin Hood), but just isn't. Compare them and you can't miss the deja vu moment. It's almost scary creepy in the similarity.

Oh, by the way everyone, If my post offends anyone it is probably because I am a "massive troll" as Nephillim calls me. Sorry, I didn't mean to be such a big troll. Silly me,... I just thought I was posting my thoughts and opinions but somehow it got away from me.

Hey Ror that's an homage,... the money, the power, the women! I loved that comeback. At least you've got a set. Unlike Mc'lovin!

Pacino is AMAZING in this movie. Yeah he's over the top but so is the whole movie! Watch the Big Boy Meeting scene it's classic

Dick Tracey was awesome a remake or reboot would be cool.

I hope if they make a remake

I can't imagine much of a sequel as 1) Beatty is getting too old now & 2) didn't like all of Tracy's good villians die in the 1st movie?

I did love the original movie though. I was there at the 1st showing where you had to buy & wear the "ticket tee shirt" to get in. Had that thing for years after. It was pretty cool.

Dick Tracy was perfect. The comic strip and books ARE campy. It was supposed to be that way. I admit it's not for everyone but if every CBM was a slugfest or a FX driven film, it wouldn't take long before they were boring. It's good to have nostagilia and good story telling flicks. I love crazy action too but a fine dramatic and smart film that stir emotions is good thing and it sticks in your memory forever. Dick Tracy is different from X-men but it's still a CBM. You must be a true believer to like this type of CBM. I'm a true believer. I'm willing to bet some of you so called fanboys don't even know what that is? or who even started the title ???

@ MaddMonkk Chester Gould, much respect goes out to you. I agree with your comments. These young punks don't know the difference between a good CBM and their hand. Us old farts need to stick together. Oh, and "true believer" is from Stan Lee. I just reread your question and realised you were asking that. I thought you were asking who created Dick Tracy.
"Excelsior!"

Warren Beatty is a has been, he needs to pass if off to someone who can do something with it.

I 2nd that God hope not, hated this movie as a kid, how could it be cool when your mum wanted to see it.

Another Dick Tracy for what?? Dead that crap.

Calling Gabriel Macht... Calling Gabriel Macht... It's time to atone your your sins Gabriel Macht...

The movie was pretty good, for what it was. I could have done without Madonna being in the spotlight like she was. What really got me, was just the visual style. Kind of like Electra... a so-so movie, but it was cinematicly beautiful to watch.

i remember way back seen this on the vhs yes it was that old people the movie seemed cool plus it kind i think broke the mode for every iconic comic charcter 2 be on the big screen i think it's great that he won the case spo the question is wut now?

here's one comic book movie I don't want to see.
