one of my favorite parts of the "Raging Bulls, Easy Riders" book is when it talks about him having whispery, hushed-toned late-night/early dawn conversations with Robert Towne. Please bring on the transcripts of that shit!

The Lothario dialogues.

Uh?

Actor Warren Beatty has filed a federal suit for control of comic-strip detective Dick Tracy.

The film idol bought rights to the character two decades ago from the Tribune Company in order to make his 1990 hit movie version of the square-jawed, tough-talking gumshoe. The sale allowed Tribune, the original publishers of the classic strip, to take back the rights if Beatty didn’t film another project.

Tribune, which owns the Los Angeles Times, recently sent Beatty a letter saying time is up and it is reasserting control of the character. But the actor claims he should retain the rights because he started filming a Dick Tracy TV special earlier this month.

His attorney declined to say where or when the program will air, but insists the 71-year-old is far from done with the detective.

“Warren has always viewed Dick Tracy as a very valuable, interesting iconic character,” said attorney Charles Shephard. “He has all sorts of creative thoughts about what he might do with this character.”

Great. The Dark Detective.

the NY Times had a tiny boring item on this that named a lot of Beatty's well-known lovers as "alleged" -- Caron, Keaton, Christie, Madonna etc. However it left out Vivien Leigh and Molly Ringwald.

Never understood his appeal. Not a bit. He looked like poached salmon, even as a yute.

Don't those kind of statistics suggest he's also had at least 300 men, if only by accident?

WARREN BEATTY says he’ll spare no expense on his son’s education – but he refuses to spend a single cent on gender reassignment surgery.

Warren and his wife Annette Bening have told their 20-year-old son Stephen Ira – born Kathlyn – that they’ll even pay the living expenses and tuition bill for an advanced degree, but that’s where the free ride stops!

“Warren is ada­mant about not shelling out any of his hard-earned mon­ey for Stephen’s sex-change operation,” a family friend told The ENQUIRER. “The whole concept of gender-bending is very difficult for Warren to accept. While he’s finally come to terms with his little girl living life as a man, he can’t fathom the thought of paying for the actual procedure.”

“Warren and Annette both agreed they’ll pay for Stephen’s schooling. He’s basically on his own after that.”

Is this the longest 'break' a prominent film director has had (~17 years), next to Malick (20)?

Beatty hasn’t made or been in a movie since he directed himself in “Town and Country” in 1991.

Bullworth doesn't count?

lol he didn't direct town & country, and it was released in like '01, not '91

bulworth was indeed his last triple threat film

He was reportedly offered “Kill Bill Pt. 1″ by Quentin Tarantino, but turned it down

huh hadn't heard about this but can totally see him in that role actually. although Carradine is a better casting choice overall.

one year passes...

“More than a quarter century after he brought Dick Tracy to the screen, Warren Beatty is considering making a sequel,” reports James Rainey for Variety. Meantime, we can “expect a fall or winter release for Beatty’s long-gestating passion project, the yet-to-be-titled [Howard] Hughes film.”

“I’m serious about it, but I am slow about these things.”
