I wondered why the open was all that was available.<br /><br />I think that the mentality in Hollywood now is to cast young for parts that aren't meant for young actors. That said, the ship's sailed on a Tracy series for the time being.hobbyfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08089664500077967952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6319982385052710495.post-23809752724284754662012-06-17T09:00:51.894-04:002012-06-17T09:00:51.894-04:00Oh, I wouldn't expect Beatty to repise the rol...Oh, I wouldn't expect Beatty to repise the role; just that a live action series could be similar in style to the film.<br /><br />I went over to Nesterhoff's blog but the Dick Tracy pilot seems to have been removed from youtube completely.magicdoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10755186050643383954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6319982385052710495.post-83940666817575073472012-06-15T08:32:59.946-04:002012-06-15T08:32:59.946-04:00Rights issues are preventing Beatty from making an...Rights issues are preventing Beatty from making another Tracy movie, but it's been 22 years, so he might as well pass the yellow coat and hat to someone else.<br /><br />An animated series would be nice, as long as it's in the hands of someone that actually cares.

That way, the crime procedurals are not as highly advanced and good old fashioned detective work and characterization gets the spotlight.
