'Who Framed Roger Rabbit' sequel



Robert Zemeckis has revealed that 1998 original scribes Jeffrey Price and Peter Seaman are working on a script. No casting or character decisions have yet been revealed. This would make a change from all the CGI films he has been doing recently. But there is a big chance 3d will be involved, and the recent developments in motion capture tools was one off the reasons that persuaded Zemeckis to think about a sequel.


Quote:
"There's a script that's being developed," he revealed, adding, "We've got the original writers that are working on it now — Seaman and Price."

There have been many false starts on another "Roger Rabbit" over the years, with potential sequels and prequels cropping up in rumors but never becoming realities — and for those who think only Zemeckis should helm the second "Roger" helping, that's a good thing. The director said he was never involved in any of those other ideas.

"I think there was a time right after the movie came out that the Disney regime at the time — it was a point in the life of the studio where if you made a successful movie they could no longer afford to hire you back," he laughed. "I guess there were some projects that I don't know anything about."

This barely qualifies as news but I know how everyone here loves sequels so here's a reminder that Roger Rabbit 2 is still in the works...

I think Roger Rabbit certainly has a place these days an i think he's someone that Disney really need to bring back

I highly recommend 'The Animators Survival Kit' by Richard Williams who was the director of animation on Roger Rabbit. Even if you're not planning on doing any animation but just interested in it then it's a great read. The guy is a great character and his labour of love project The Thief and the Cobbler has become a bit of a legend over the years.
