Writers Hired For Roger Rabbit Sequel
Sat, October 31, 2009 
I realize it can come across as a surprise from time to time. But when they're not hit-whoring with bullshit non-news like J.J. Abrams saying he's "game" to direct the next Superman movie, MTV can actually get some good exclusives.
Case in point: Remember when Robert Zemeckis was acting coy about a Who Framed Roger Rabbit sequel during Comic-Con? He wasn't kidding. MTV got confirmation straight from the Back to the Future and Forest Gump director himself. A follow-up is in development and the studio has gone ahead and hired screenwriters for the job.
They might sound familiar - Jeffrey Price and Peter Seaman. If you're too young to remember (or care), they were the writers behind the original 1988 film. That's all fine and good. But with old Bob already working on his update of Yellow Submarine for 2012, don't expect to see Roger Rabbit return in the near-future.
There's also the chance that this latest attempt to revisit Toon Town falls apart like previous ones did.
