"If anyone ever put out an expanded soundtrack, with all the Sondheim songs, as well as the Elfman, the result would do crossover business with the theatre crowd, particularly all the Sondheim fanatics, of whom there are many." Yes it would. I know many Sondheim fans and they drool every time I mention an expanded DICK TRACY CD. This is why I am surprised Disney or Intrada are not seriously looking into this. IMO, the timing is perfect. I bet with Sondheim and, especially, Madonna involved, there would be a lot of extra red tape involved (and a release may even be cost prohibitive)

I'd like an expanded 'Tracy' CD too. The first release is pretty short, and it seems like there's a bunch of potential buyers out there. Lots of rights to negotiate if you get extra Elfman music, the rest of the Madonna songs, *and* anything Silvestri may have done. But if it happened, it seems like you'd attract: * Disney fans * Soundtrack fans * Madonna fans * Elfman fans * Fans of the movie itself * Sondheim fans I get that film didn't stick with a lot of people, and that it was considered a box-office disappointment. But that's still a LOT of overlapping fan-bases, some of which (I'd think) are rather large. Well, didn't the Madonna songs get released in her "I'm Breathless" album?

He's been tinkering with a special edition on dvd for years(they shot an interview & commentary with him back in early 2000 or 2001 with a special edition in mind) That's not true. It's been debunked.

Thanks Cliffs71. Good to know. I wonder then what the hold up could be if it is not Beatty. Surprised Disney would not want to get a special edition out there ASAP. They a lot to add as far as special features go. Maybe not any addition or deleted scenes but plenty of specials.I remember 20/20 doing a rather in depth report a few nights before the film opened. There was also a network 'making of' special that aired,not to mention the Premiere in Florida and Beatty's numerous appearances on Larry King,Arsenio,Oprah,etc. They could even possibly put together a documentary now on the cast members and reflect on the filming of DICK TRACY. So, as you can tell a SE blu-ray is on the top of my wish list and hearing Beatty's take on it makes me feel better. Now,if we can only get a expanded CD release and Disney see's how well that sells maybe a SE Blu-Ray will come 'sooner than later'. I have a copy of the original shooting script and it's VERY close to what we see on screen. In fact, I have no recollection of any complete deleted scenes that were axed. Anything else was just slight trims.
