After two decades someone is getting around to framing that poor rabbit again. No not Bugs, He’s a bunny. I am talking about Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and director Robert Zemeckis love affair with animation styles will extend into the culturally mixed world of live action and toons for a sequel.

Peter Seaman and Jeffrey Price, who wrote the original are tasked with writing its followup.

Obsessed with Film says:

That’s right folks, it’s finally official after much teasing from director Robert Zemeckis. A script has been commissioned, and presumably once Zemeckis is done with this beatles movie , we shall see a return for Bob Hoskins‘ Eddie Valiant, Jessica Rabbit, Donald Duck and of course, Roger Rabbit.

I loved how they portrayed the world of animated characters in Roger Rabbit as simply hired actors.

There were plenty of nods to classic animation characters, but still enough meat to give it its own identity. The characters were all great. Even when they played off existing characters against each other.

I would really like to see a sequel made with the same fun and charm of the original. I am sure they could update using CGI for the toons, but I think it would work just as well with 2d interactions.

The film wasn’t awesome, it was just drawn that way!
