Roger Rabbit was such a ground breaking film in so many ways. Not only was it visual hilarious with the combination of animation and live action, but the story and dialog in and of itself were just hilarious. And has there ever been a sexier cartoon character than Jessica Rabbit? I submit to there has NOT.
It’s always amazed me that considering the enormous popularity and success of Roger Rabbit there there has never been a sequel. Well… that may be changing as Robert Zemeckis has recently dropped that we may be seeing another Roger Rabbit film. FINALLY!
The guys over at AICN chime in with this:
The only thing that I’ll say is this… Please, Mr. Zemeckis… what makes Roger Rabbit work is that he’s a 2-D toon in a 3-D human world. I can see you updating it with crazy awesome CGI via performance capture, but unless you have a brilliant idea that can explain why 2-D Roger is now 3-D ultra real Roger you’re going to lose a lot of the magic that made the original film work.
I totally agree. Roger Rabbit (and Jessica) need to stay in the 2-D animation realm. Maybe have other 3D characters… that could actually be a part of the plot… but keep Roger and Jessica 2D!
I am so excited about this!
