"Disney wouldn't allow a Jessica Rabbit-like character these days" - Robert Zemeckis
Robert Zemeckis says 'there's a good script' for a 'Roger Rabbit' sequel, but it'll never get made because a character like Jessica Rabbit would never be allowed now. https://t.co/E6FMf6V0WP

- On a recent episode of the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Zemeckis lamented, "There's a good script [for a sequel] at Disney, but here's the thing: The current Disney would never make Roger Rabbit today. They can't make a movie with Jessica in it.";
- The sequel is written by the writers of the original;
- According to Zemeckis, it necessarily isn't the murder, kidnapping, voyeurism, drug use, or crooked cops and politicians that today's House of Mouse would object to, but Jessica's scandalous sartorial sensibility;
- No comment from Disney, even though Entertainment Weekly reached out to them.
