Who Motion-Captured Roger Rabbit?

Off the curtails of confirming a Roger Rabbit sequel was being written, MTV now has more details from Robert Zemeckis. Actually this is the same sit down where they got the first batch of information. But who wants to reveal everything at once when you can spread it out and thus further hit-whoring.

The Back to the Future helmer reveals that his love-affair with motion-capture technology will continue with the planned return to Toon Town. He apparently would also like to use 3-D as well (being that it’s featured in A Christmas Carol – opening this coming Friday). Ugh.

Rest assured, we shouldn’t expect to see characters like Roger or Jessica being created from either technology this go-around either. Thank God, as he clarifies:

"I wouldn't use it for the cartoon characters, because I think they should stay two-dimensional because that's what — I wouldn't dimensonalize Roger. And I couldn't dimensonalize Jessica even if I wanted to because she doesn't have a nose. We wouldn't want to give her a nose."

It's too early to know whether we'll see a return of the great Bob Hoskins' Eddie Valiant. Only way I can see him show up is if the sequel is a 100% mix of motion-capture and 2-D animation with zero live-action elements. I mean, it's not like he looks exactly the same since we last saw him in the 1988 original.
