• Robert Zemeckis may be thinking about developing a second “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” flick, he recently told MTV. “I’ll tell you what is buzzing around in my head now that we have the ability—the digital tools, performance capture—I’m starting to think about ‘Roger Rabbit,’” he said. I'm sure we;ll hear more about this soon.

Robert Zemeckis will produce the Gil Kenan-directed family adventure “Airman,” which is based on a book b Eoin Colfer, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The project marks the reunion of the two filmmakers, who previously collaborated on the fairly decent animated flick “Monster House.”

“Airman” centers on Conor Broekhart, a young man who was born in a hot air balloon. Because of a series of unfortunate events, he later lands in prison, where he tries to escape before heading out to battle an alliance planning to overthrow the government.

Just like Zemeckis’ previous flicks “The Polar Express” and “Beowulf,” the film will use motion capture animation. A screenwriter has yet to be hired though.

Kenan’s latest directorial effort, “City of Ember,” will open Oct. 10. Zemeckis’ next is “A Christmas Carol,” with Jim Carrey, Colin Firth and Gary Oldman.
