THE RABBIT IS DEAD
Posted: 060117

There have always been rumors of a sequel to Who Framed Roger Rabbit? That’s not going to happen according to director Robert Zemeckis. He believes that since Disney is so family friendly they have no interest in a follow-up to what was at the time considered to be a somewhat dark film. He also thinks that audiences claim they want sequels but if they change the formula of the first film then they hate it. There is a script ready to be shot that moved Roger and Jessica Rabbit into the 1950s. The script does have the ghost of Eddie Valiant as a character so we would have seen a digital version of actor Bob Hoskins. Zemeckis confirmed again that Universal cannot remake Back to the Future without the approval of himself and writer Bob Gale which isn’t going to happen. The same is true for E.T.
