In an interview with MTV while promoting the newly-released Back to the Future Blu-ray collection, Robert Zemeckis was quizzed about the status of the much-anticipated Who Framed Roger Rabbit sequel.

On the parts of Peter S. Seaman and Jeffrey Price’s script he had read, Zemeckis said:

“It’s great… I think it’s gonna be great.”

A sequel to Who Framed Roger Rabbit has been rumoured since the first film, which was released back in 1988, became a critical and commercial success worldwide.

Don Hahn revealed in an interview with Empire magazine earlier this year that a sequel was definitely in development:

“Yeah, I couldn’t possibly comment. I deny completely, but yeah… if you’re a fan, pretty soon you’re going to be very, very, very happy.”

So there, it seems after 12 years of waiting, we could have our long-awaited sequel after all.
