Okay, I'll see what I can do today to watch it.

when you will watch the movie you need to remember that this was realesed in 88. so try to udnerstand in what context it was realesed. the world has changed since then.

 

[Doctor Jones]

I'm not one of those type of people who judge a movie because of its age. I'm open minded, espesially when it comes to movies.

 

[GreenKToo]

I don't wanna feel left out so........... @ your not having seen WFRR.

 

[Doctor Jones]

Okay, people. I have watched it. We can all go on with our lives now.

But I really enjoyed it. I'm glad I watched it. I'm looking forward to what they cook up for the sequel.

Glad you liked it. But then again, how can anyone not like that movie? t:

 

[El Payaso]

I loved the movie. I think I like Zemeckis much more than Spielberg or Lucas.

I'm not too sure about a sequel, but for sure I'd love to read the book.

Zemeckis Wants to Use Performance Capture in Roger Rabbit Sequel, But Not For Roger…

Posted on Wednesday, November 4th, 2009 by Russ Fischer

With the original writers of Who Framed Roger Rabbit now at work on a potential sequel, Robert Zemeckis is starting to talk, in very guarded terms, about ideas for the film. Given that he’s become a massive proponent of performance capture technology, there have been questions (such as those raised by Brendon) about whether the original film’s blend of drawn animation and live action actors would be augmented by new tech. That seems likely to be the case, as evidenced by current statements from Zemeckis.
MTV got the director to talk very briefly about his approach to the film and the core characters. When asked if performance capture tech was part of the reason the movie was finally moving forward, he said,

That’s true, yeah, although I wouldn’t use if for the cartoon characters, because I think they should stay two-dimensional. That’s their charm. I wouldn’t dimensionalize Roger. And I couldn’t dimensionalize Jessica, even if I wanted to, because she doesn’t have a nose. We don’t want to give her a nose!…All the other characters that they would sort of have fun with would be magnificent in performance capture technology.




​

OK, so the core animated characters won’t be performance capture. That is good. But this leads to obvious questions. What are the ‘other characters’ Zemeckis is talking about? Humans or toons? Seeing toons dealing with new CGI and performance capture competition seems to make sense, but to make that happen the film’s time frame would have to be decades after the original’s. Given the fact that key humans like Bob Hoskins have obviously aged 20 years since the last movie, that’s not the most outlandish thing to consider.
And with respect to Bob Hoskins returning, Zemeckis had nothing real to say. No surprise there, but that will probably lead to more speculation that the film’s human characters will all be performance capture.

Well i am glad he wants to keep the cartoons 2D like they should be. As for the whole motion capture/performance capture stuff. We need to know more about the film's story before we freak out. If bob hospkins is back the film will probably be set 20+ yrs post the first film. Which means be around the late 60s early 70s. If he isnt going back. The whole idea of 2D toons feeling out and outdated by the emerging 3D cgi toons could still work out best. But we have to see how things go first.

 

[Octoberist]

honestly, I think they should just leave Roger alone. I'm not against having a Roger Rabbit short though, right before movies. Like how Disney did it with Nation Treasure 2 with that Goofy cartoon.

 

[Webhead2006]

well i would love to see a sequel the first film is one of my favs of the 80s. But first i need to know more details on things before i know if it sounds good or bad. But if i does happen i am curious as heck to see how things turn out.

Here's a screen test that Zemeckis created back in 98 for the sequel. It's still in the works he says, though.

[Spider-Vader]

Ugh... I want this movie to happen reaaaaaaaally badly.

 

[CGHulk]

Me too, but without performance capture!

 

[kickass]

One of my favorite films. Ever.

And I'll even go on record as saying I have always liked Roger over Bugs.

 

[Doctor Jones]

God, that screen test makes me want this even more. Zemeckis needs to refrain from his motion capture insanity and make it the way he did with the first one, but updated. I mean the effects were amazing for that time. Think if they did it the same way, how great it would look today.

 

[Ghostvirus]

I could give a shave & a hair cut, & 2 sh**s about this unnecassary sequel.

This isn't the Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps thread.

 

[OtherwiseKnownAs]

Is this movie still happening or what?

 

[Deaths Head II]

I don't really want a Roger Rabbit sequel. I have a sneaking suspicion it wouldn't be very good and I'm happy with just the original.

 

[terry78]

And the thing is, apparently Roger is CG in that whole scene.

 

[Spider-Vader]

With the original crew, it could be good. If Zemeckis wasn't interested, I wouldn't be either...But he is.

That just made want to go and watch the first movie again, which I haven't seen in ages.

I bought a Disneyland sing-along video for my nephew a few weeks ago, and Roger was one of the characters dancing around in the parks...I'd forgotten all about him being a walkaround character there.

[YT]Vvx9c8s1rHQ[/YT]

I also really wanted to go back to Disneyland after watching that with my nephew...

 

[Deaths Head II]

With the original crew, it could be good. If Zemeckis wasn't interested, I wouldn't be either...But he is.

I don't even know if Zemeckis is as good as he used to be. Ever since he started doing 3D **** it hasn't felt as good for the most part and he wants 3D for this film. Warning bells are going off in my head.

 

[Thundarr]

First I want to say that I freakin' love Who Framed Roger Rabbit! It's one of the few movies I've seen over and over again in the theatres. I also own a copy on VHS (not DVD . . . yet) and watch it practically every time it comes on TV (assuming that I'm not already watching something else).

I have always wondered what Toon Town would look like today. Would all the action cartoons be deputised members of The Law? Sheriff Optimus Prime and Deputy Megatron perhaps? And how about all the many incarnations of the many superhero cartoons there have been? The 1940's Superman. The Superfriends Superman. The JLA Superman. And all of the various Batman incarnations, from the ones voiced by Adam West and Burt Ward to Batman: The Brave & The Bold and everything in between.

As for the sequel, I agree that the movie seems to be 20 years too late. The character of Roger Rabbit was designed for a younger crowd, all of whom have grown up and had kids of their own. However, on the flipside, Roger Rabbit was not a pre-existing character like Bugs or Goofy. He was created specifically for that movie and has become an icon because of it. No kids had heard of Roger Rabbit before the movie was made, yet it was a monster success. There's no reason to assume that the sequel won't be similarly successful because the target audience hasn't heard of Roger Rabbit. If it's well made, it would be a success.

As for a plot? While this might not fit all that well with the title, what if Eddie is the one framed for murder and he asks his old buddy Roger to help him clear his name? As for the timeline, I agree it should take place in the late 60's or early 70's. Add a few new iconic characters cameos to the movie, like The Flintstones, Scooby Doo, Speed Racer, and a few others I can't think of right now.

As for the villain? Maybe the cartoonist who created Judge Doom wants revenge on Eddie for destroying his creation. Maybe there's a new villain who hates toons and he wants Eddie out of the way so he can wipe out Toon Town. Maybe a classic movie short cartoon is upset that his movie reels aren't being adapted for TV. There are lots of possibilities.

I'm just wondering, is this still happening? Or is this all just rumor and speculation?

And the thing is, apparently Roger is CG in that whole scene.

was he modeled and animated.or was he painted and then scanned into the computer to match him better wit the live action footage?
