While promoting his motion-capture holiday film A Christmas Carol, director Robert Zemeckis was asked about the status of a sequel to his 1988 Oscar-winning comedy Who Framed Roger Rabbit. "There's a script that's being developed," he replied. "We've got the original writers, that are working on it now, [Peter S.] Seaman and [Jeffrey] Price."

Zemeckis' last three films (The Polar Express, Beowulf and Christmas Carol) have all been motion-capture, and he has been mostly tight-lipped about any technical aspects of a Roger Rabbit sequel. In other interviews, however, he did state that if he went that route, the film would not be entirely motion-capture, and he would try to use more traditional techniques to create the toon characters. The original film's characters were hand-animated, with acclaimed animation director Richard Williams supervising the production.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit earned $154.2 million domestically (about $270 million when adjusted for inflation) and took home four Oscars, for Visual Effects, Sound Effects, Editing, and a Special Achievement award for Williams.
