Warren Beatty has filed court documents forbidding cameras be allowed to document his Dick Tracy lawsuit.

On Thursday, he entered an emergency motion in a Delaware court to ask that his July 23 deposition not be filmed. Beatty argued that the filming would be an invasion of his privacy, The AP reports.

The actor, 72, is suing Tribune Media Services for $30 million (£18.4 million) over claims that he doesn't own the rights to the comic strip character and was prevented from making another movie based on the cartoon.

Beatty, who starred in the 1990 film adaptation with Madonna and Al Pacino, began his lawsuit for breach of contract, stemming from a reported 1985 deal with the company, in May.
