Do you have your heart set on a sequel to "Roger Rabbit"? Well start wishing for something else, I suggest wishing for a sequel that has more of a shot of actually being made.
While talking to Liz Smith, Frank Marshall growled that "After we budgeted the project, we realized it would simply be too expensive -- way, way too expensive. The first Roger Rabbit only had 40 minutes of animation. The second was going to have twice that much."
Marshall then hissed (ok.. so he didn't growl or hiss anything, but it does make the story more interesting) that the first film's budget was $50MIL and, "that was nearly 15 years ago. Today, its cost would be prohibitive."
