Comic-Con: Who Sequelized Roger Rabbit?

For those in my age-group (I'm 25), one would usually first think of Steven Spielberg or George Lucas when it comes to whose films you grew up watching - repeatedly, I might add. One name who shouldn't be pushed to the sidelines is Robert Zemeckis, director of films like Back to the Future (and its two sequels), Forest Gump and Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

Upon showing off new 3D footage for the forthcoming release of A Christmas Carol this November, Zemeckis fielded questions from the audience. One such question arose about the possibility for a Roger Rabbit follow-up to which the director coyly replied, "I can neither confirm nor deny."

And after some not-so-friendly reaction (i.e. booing), Zemeckis did slightly elaborate on said matter, “If that ever does happen, the 2D characters from the original movie will remain 2D. They will not be dimensionalized. Not to say there wont be 3D."

Weird thing is if there was in fact nothing going on the property at this time, he could have easily just shot everyone down right then and there. Not to mention, Disney is bankrolling big bucks behind the sequel to Tron - a film that was actually a box-office flop during its theatrical release back in the summer of 1982. So it's certainly not out of the realm of possibility that the Mouse could also make a Roger Rabbit sequel.

Thanks to the good folks over at IGN Movies for the report.
