In 1990, every Hollywood Studio was looking for the next Batman – a tentpole movie that wouldn’t just sell a lot of tickets but could also be marketed out the wazoo. Disney was pretty sure they had exactly that with their big summer release, Dick Tracy. They had a big star/director in Warren Beatty, a pop culture sensation in Madonna and a character who had stood the test of time like the Dark Knight. Not to mention a cast that included all of Beatty’s famous Hollywood friends.
The road to the big screen was a long one. The June issue of Movieline documented all of the project’s false starts, delays, struggles and law suits.
