Warren Beatty’s long legal battle with the Tribune Co. over the rights to his legendary Dick Tracy character is over. The judge has stopped the Tribune from scoring the rights to the character because the Tribune were going to make a TV show and a new movie, based on the character. The legal battle started when Warren Beatty in the Dick Tracy costume was going to do a half hour TV show with Leonard Maltin . Warren Beatty won everything and now Warren has full control of the Dick Tracy, character.

In 1990, Warren wrote, directed and starred the leading role in “Dick Tracy” which also starred Madonna, Al Pacino, and Dustin Hoffman.

Deadline, reports.

Now that Warren has the rights, what will his plans be for the character next? A TV series, re-boot film, or a sequel from the 1990 film? I’m willing to bet a remake is coming.
