Probably the same reason Flash Gordon and The Phantom hasnt. Studios just dont think theres an audience for it.

What was Dick Tracy famous for?


His rogues gallery.

I was just thinking to myself I would love to see a Dick Tracy remake. Karl Urban would make a great Flattop.

Because Warren Beatty owns the rights to the character and won't let anyone else play him.

The thing holding Flash back is the casual racism involved with his adversary being Ming the Merciless. That, and Star Wars poisoned the well by stealing 60% of the good content.

It's like trying to revive the Shadow after decades of Batman.

^THIS is the real reason. To anyone who wants to know more, Google Warren Beatty holding the rights to the character hostage (it can go back to the original owners, but a bunch of legal bullshit keeps it in Warren Beatty's possession, who is lazy as fuck and doesn't do a damn thing with the character when it comes to making a new movie or anything else. I think he just collects money from Dick Tracy comics in collected editions and from whatever else).

I don't think it's because he's lazy. I think it's because he has some weird childhood obsession with Dick Tracy and nobody can play his hero but him.

Because he would get rebooted as a female-presenting bi-sexual otherkin who shoots the bad guys (men, obviously) in the balls

It already had a failed reboot in the 80's, just like Phantom in the 90's.

Funny, I was just watching a video about the movie from 1990 a couple days ago, and was quite surprised that Madonna was only paid 35k for her role. Also the actor that played the "Kid" went on to play the nerdy William Lichter in the movie "Can't Hardly Wait"

I remember playing that game on NES. Now that I think about it, that was a GTA prototype.

I always wanted to see that one appear on an episode of James & Mike Mondays. When he made the video, he didn't know how to restore Tracy's health. (It appears at the end as an "update.") I wanna know how well he'd fare after being able to heal.
