Ain't It Cool has a surprising interview with director Robert Zemeckis discussing his new film, A Christmas Carol, based on the classic tale of Ebeneezer Scrooge. I'll be honest, I'm not all that interested in that. It looks ok, and is a definite style improvement over The Polar Express which used the same performance-capture technique.
But what is really worth noting is this little exchange between Harry Knowles and Zemeckis regarding a certain 'toon hating gumshoe...
Harry: Did you have any discussions with him about returning as Eddie Valiant?
Zemeckis: Oh yes, he always has them with me. He loves Eddie Valiant and he would love to do it. We talk about it and it’s something we are thinking about.
F'real? Even after all these years I still get suckered into watching Roger Rabbit when it comes on TV every...single....Sunday. It's just one of those movies that never ceases to entertain me, and I still marvel at how seamless the live-action and the animation meshed together. Plus it's the only time Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny ever appeared on screen together, and that's just plain cool every time. This must happen. I might even drink a gallon of The Dip to see it.
