Roger Rabbit creator Gary K. Wolf has revealed plans for more projects in the series after claiming back the rights to the legendary animated creator.

“I now have back the rights to all my characters, all my books. I can, basically, do my own Roger Rabbit projects," Wolf told ImNotBad.com.

Wolf – who wrote 'Who Censored Roger Rabbit', on which the movie was based – discovered he could recover the rights thanks to a copyright termination clause.

"The one that is most prominent… is a live-action Jessica Rabbit movie based on the book Jessica Rabbit: Xerious Business. That was the first project that we took a look at and the first we started developing. It’s probably the one that’s furthest along right now."

"It has to be as good, or better than, what we did before. That’s what the fans want, and I have promised the fans that’s what I’m going to give them," Wolf said.
