Patrick Warburton Responds To Reports That He's Set To Return As THE TICK
A continuation of the short-lived 2001 series is said to be in the works over at Amazon, and now original star Patrick Warburton has responded to these reports and whether he's really coming back.
It was revealed last month that Amazon were planning on giving the green light to a pilot episode of The Tick, resurrecting the 2001 series which lasted for only nine episodes but gained a huge cult following. Creator Ben Edlund would confirm these reports and even alluded to original star Patrick Warburton returning, and in a recent interview with Movie Web, the Ted star had this to say about the current status of the project. "I love The Tick. I’d love to do it again. I never would have thought I’d have the opportunity to do this again. I think it would be a blast to do it again. We’ll see what happens. One thing about The Tick, he is an insane character. I guess he doesn’t have to be 29 years old like Thor. He’ll be 50 battling evil. I’d love to see what Ben Edlund’s new vision for it is. I think it will be different. Perhaps a little darker and a little edgier. We’ll see what happens." While he did tell the site that he wasn't fully commited at this point and couldn't reveal too many specifics about how it's all coming together, Warburton did add: "I don’t know what is happening, but I would love to have something where we are really given a shot to make the show that we want to make." How do you guys feel about this possible return for The Tick?
