Actor Warren Beatty who played the iconic character “Dick Tracy” the 1990 hit film which he starred in and directed himself, is suing the Tribune Co. so he can keep the rights to this famous fictional character. The Tribune planned to take away the character rights away from Beatty which he had since 1990 and Beatty wants to stop that from happening so he filed a federal lawsuit against the company.  Beatty has already started working on a special TV series for Dick Tracy this year but the Tribune said they had the right to terminate Beatty’s rights to the character if they please. This made Beatty one unhappy camper and he is fighting back and is desperate to keep the character all for himself.
