While out promoting this weekend’s A Christmas Carol, director Robert Zemeckis spoke to MTV about the long awaited sequel to Who Framed Roger Rabbit. The original film that starred Bob Hoskins, Christopher Lloyd, and the voice of Kathleen Turner over 20 years ago was an animated/live action sensation for the director who plans on pushing the envelope once again for the follow up.
Six new images have been released for the upcoming 3-D animated film, A Christmas Carol. There are a few shots taken directly from the film, and a few images that show the director and crew behind the scenes. It’s really interesting to see the kind of prep work that goes into this type of animation.

Disney has released another trailer for the Robert Zemekis adaptation of A Christmas Carol. The film stars Jim Carrey as the voice and digital image of the story’s villain, Ebenezer Scrooge. The film has all the traditional imagery that you would expect from the Charles Dickens’ classic, but with a layer of 3-D graphics. The second full length trailer is a bit more upbeat than the teaser we showed you a few weeks ago. It’s still slightly depressing, but not as much.

Last month we reported that award winning director Robert Zemeckis was teaming up with Disney Studios for a remake of the 1968 classic, Yellow Submarine. The film is best known for its psychedelic visuals and classic soundtrack infused with original songs from The Beatles.

His next project is just as epic, but with a more contemporary flare. According to Variety, the director has plans to remake the 1960′s Beatles musical, Yellow Submarine.
