Warren Beatty's battle with the Tribune Co. took an acerbic turn Thursday as the famed actor sought a court order to prevent him from giving a videotaped deposition next week.
In the matter involving cartoon character Dick Tracy, Tribune offered to restrict distribution of the tape, but Beatty's attorneys said it still could be "disseminated inadvertently" and then "abused," according to court papers.
Beatty's side argued a deposition video could find its way onto the Internet and be "spread globally almost instantaneously," which could do irreversible harm to the 72-year-old performer.
Yawn. All this over a REALLY bad flick. And thank you, Jesus, that there was no DT2!
The only news here is that Warren Beatty is 72!
