‘Roger Rabbit’ Sequel Ready To Go, Waiting On Execs!

It’s been nearly 25 years since the iconic Who Framed Roger Rabbit hit the big screen. It was an insanely impressive, wonderfully heartfelt comedy that blurred the lines between animation and reality.

Due to the insane popularity of the first film, sequel talk began almost instantly, but nothing concrete ever really came of it. What is known however (thanks Wikipedia!) is that the film actually looks to be a prequel. Who knows what the final screenplay will look like, but at one time the script revolved around Roger meeting his future wife, and his rise to fame and stardom.

Director Robert Zemeckis is of course doing the rounds for the upcoming drama Flight (which I hear is quite fantastic). In a quick interview with ShowBiz411, he iterated that while he’s sad about the unfortunate retiring of Bob Hoskins (sadly due to being diagnosed with Parkinsons), he’s ready to go with the prequel. “I have a script at Disney, and we’re just waiting for all the executive changes to settle down there,” Zemeckis stated in the interview.

Hopefully things settle down soon! Who doesn’t want another taste of that world?
