Would anyone want another Dick Tracy movie!? Did anyone want the first one?
In 1990, the Dick Tracy movie got a huge push. I remember going to Disney that summer and it was heavily promoted there. There were ads on the back of comics. I don't know if people wanted it, but they got it and Disney tried to make it the next Batman movie. I re-watched the movie again a few years back and it holds up fairly well, though it desperately wants to feel like a Tim Burton movie with a Danny Elfman soundtrack.
And would you believe the comic strip is still going?
As for whether people today would want another Dick Tracy movie, who knows? With John Carter on one end and, say, Batman on the other, it's anyone's guess how a property that old would do at the box office.
