Who Brought Back Roger Rabbit?



According to MTV News, "'Who Framed Roger Rabbit' came out 20 years ago and grossed $330 million worldwide, and for all the talk about another big screen venture for the animated bunny and his voluptuous sweetheart Jessica, nothing over the last two decades moved into production. And it was starting to seem like nothing ever would."

Now, well, Robert Zemeckis (director of the "Back to the Future" trilogy and "Forrest Gump") wants to return to his classic "Roger Rabbit" tale.

Combing traditional animation with live-action, “Roger Rabbit” was a staggering achievement that employed cutting-edge technology without sacrificing the demands of first-rate storytelling. It won four Oscars, including nods for visual effects, editing and a special achievement award for animation direction. But Zemeckis hasn’t toiled in live-action since 2000’s “Cast Away”, preferring instead to work with performance capture in films like “The Polar Express,” "Beowulf" and the upcoming Jim Carrey vehicle, “A Christmas Carol.”

Hopefully we'll hear more news on what is going on behind Zemeckis' mind.
More news to come! Catch ya' later!
