‘Roger Rabbit’ Sequel Gets Original Writers
A sequel to Who Framed Roger Rabbit is coming, and it’s going to have the same writers as the original film did!
Robert Zemeckis has been loosening us up for a Who Framed Roger Rabbit sequel for some months now, letting slip the odd reference here and there that he’s been keen to give the follow on a good crack. In April he said that he had a good idea for the second installment; on July 22nd he said he’d been discussing the film with Bob Hoskins; on July 23rd he told the Comic-Con audience that he could neither deny nor confirm any plans for a sequel.
Now he’s just come out and revealed that not only is he gunning for another run at the funny Bunny, but also that writing on the new screenplay already currently underway. Purist fans of the original will probably jump for joy at his revelation on who is wielding the pen, because it’s none other than the scribes of part one, Peter Seaman and Jeffrey Price.
Who Framed Rodger Rabbit is a movie I’ve always loved, can’t wait to see what they can do with a sequel. Unfortunately it’s one of those movies that could easily be messed up, (e.g. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull), but having the same writers is a good sign. I’ll keep you posted on the happenings with this one.
