\"\"<\/a>Ever since it was a box office smash in the summer 1988, people have been wondering when there would be a sequel to Who Framed Roger Rabbit?<\/strong>. Disnet execs have been wondering too, as a follow-up to the live action and animation hybrid has been in some form of development on and off for the last two-and-a-half decades or so. (You can read our coverage of most of that development here<\/a>.) But now it seems as if the studio is close to actually giving a sequel the green light.<\/p>\n

In an interview with MTV<\/a>, Who Framed Roger Rabbit?<\/strong> director Robert Zemeckis stated that Disney is currently evaluating a screenplay for a sequel.<\/p>\n

I’m happy with the script. It’s very good. It’s written by the original writers, and it’s good. [But Disney] is still thinking about it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is probably the screenplay he mentioned that he was developing back in 2009<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Zemeckis was secretive about this latest attempt’s storyline, only saying that like the original it would be a period piece. He did say that the film would also again be a combination of live action and hand-drawn animation and eschew computer-generated animation.<\/p>\n

If I were to do the sequel, it would be done just like the first one. It would look the same way, but we would present it in 3-D in its release. I would do all of the animation hand-drawn; 2-D, but using 3-D tools. It wouldn’t be like Pixar 3-D. It wouldn’t look like that.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Director Robert Zemeckis is waiting for the go-ahead from the studio.<\/div>\n
