A post-"Ishtar" Warren Beatty has been telling the press that he's serious about working more often. He's claimed both the long-gestating "Howard Hughes" and "Dick Tracy" are back in active development. "Tracy," at 20th Century Fox, might start pre-production as early as March '88 with Beatty possibly directing, said a Beatty rep.
Now comes word from writer-director Wolfgang Petersen ("Das Boot," "Enemy Mine") that Beatty wants to do Petersen's "The Plastic Nightmare," described as an erotic thriller about an amnesiac stock broker.
