Hot on the heels of the possible news of a Dick Tracy 2 movie, here comes the news that a team are trying to put together the TV series, although they have a lawsuit hanging over them from Warren Beatty for the rights. From Comic Book Movie:
Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Outlaw Prods. partners Bobby Newmyer and Scott Strauss have teamed in a deal with the Tribune Co. to resurrect Dick Tracy and make him the centerpiece of a TV series. But whether Tribune really has rights to Dick Tracy is the subject of a lawsuit filed last week by Warren Beatty, who claims he has rights to the comicbook character.
Apparently they want to do for Dick Tracy what Smallville did for Superman…That is if they get the chance.
