Warren Beatty reprised his role as Dick Tracy in TCM's special 'Tracy Zooms In.'
While this weekend will see many actors reprising beloved characters of theirs in commercials for the Super Bowl — from Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul becoming Breaking Bad's Walt and Jesse once again, to Alicia Silverstone stepping back into her classic Clueless wardrobe — fans of 1990 crime comedy Dick Tracy were also in for a treat.
The special featured Beatty, appearing in character, in conversation with film critics Leonard Maltin and Ben Mankiewicz. The three of them look back on the film and on Beatty's process in making it, before eventually being joined by Beatty himself. The pair then begin to argue about whether or not the filmmaker will ever make a sequel to the film, and what that might look like in the changed landscape of film in 2023.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Why Did Warren Beatty Make Tracy Zooms In? While it's certainly not unheard of for actors to reprise famous roles of theirs years after the fact, the question remains as to why Beatty chose to don Dick Tracy's iconic yellow coat and hat nearly 33 years after the film premiered. Nostalgia is certainly a possibility, but the reality of the situation is far more technical.
Tracy Zooms In aired on February 10 on TCM, and as of right now there are no firm plans for a Dick Tracy sequel. If you missed the special, you can watch the special below:
