Would it even be considered novel now using CGI now versus traditional animation? If it does get done, I do hope he can get the rights to all the characters like the last film. Seeing Looney Tunes, Disney, and other characters all interacting with one another is what truly made the original film such a delight to me!

There was also the fact that Roger and Eddie were great characters and it was a good story. I'm a big WFRR fan, but I almost hope this doesn't get made. Sequels too often cheapen the originals.

Something coming this late after the original makes me worry a little bit. Zemekis still has some creativity left though, so it might not be too bad. A large part depends upon who they get to write the screenplay. - Anatole

It's the stories that end with "happily ever after" and then get sequels that generally disappoint. As you say, though, a lot depends on the screenplay. My fear is that it could turn into an exercise in fancy visual effects with neither brain nor heart. (Back to the Future II & III, anyone?)
