A Jessica Rabbit solo movie could be breaking the Internet sooner than later

There’s a lot that has contributed to the legacy of Disney’s Who Framed Roger Rabbit: the seamless combination of animation and live-action, the gleeful performances from Christopher Lloyd and Bob Hoskins, and… Jessica Rabbit. Although the franchise might not be as well-known today as it was in 1988, Jessica’s Old Hollywood-inspired aesthetic and her onscreen presence made her into a bonafide sex symbol, still immortalized in Halloween costumes and social media posts to this day.

But apparently, she could be headed back to the big screen… in a solo movie. Yes, just days after the announcement that a Miss Piggy solo movie is in the works from Jennifer Lawrence, Emma Stone, and Cole Escola, franchise creator Gary K. Wolf has expressed plans to make a live-action Jessica Rabbit movie. As Wolf revealed to ImNotBad.com, the copyright for his Roger Rabbit characters, who first debuted in his 1981 crime novel Who Censored Roger Rabbit?, has now reverted from Disney back to him. When outlining his plans with this new creative freedom, he specifically named a live-action Jessica movie, inspired by his 2022 novel Jessica Rabbit: XERIOUS Business.
