Producer/director Robert "Back To The Future" Zemeckis is looking for a follow-up sequel to his "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" feature-length toon, developing a new screenplay with original "Rabbit" writers Peter S. Seaman and Jeffrey Price.

"I’ll tell you what is buzzing around in my head now that we have the ability," said Zemeckis.

"The digital tools, performance capture... I’m starting to think about 'Roger Rabbit'."

Released in 1988, from co-producer Steven Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment, distributed by Disney's Touchstone Pictures, the $70 million, live-action/animation feature grossed $329.8 million worldwide.

Based on the novel "Who Censored Roger Rabbit?" from author Gary K. Wolf, the film starred actors Bob Hoskins, Charles Fleischer, Christopher Lloyd, Kathleen Turner and Joanna Cassidy, set in 1947 Hollywood, where cartoon characters, aka 'toons'
, interact with the studio system of Classical Hollywood cinema.

Premise follows private investigator 'Eddie Valiant' caught up in a mystery that involves 'Roger Rabbit', an A-list character who is framed for murder.
