Making the Film
The script for Roger Rabbit is loosely based on screenwriter Robert Towne's proposed Chinatown sequels. A film which he intended to title Cloverleaf, about the construction of the Los Angeles freeway system, was heavily incorporated into the story of Roger Rabbit, and many scenes directly parody scenes from Chinatown.Roger Rabbit took several years to create. Zemeckis filmed the live action sequences in England, with actors playing to non-existent characters who would be drawn in later. (For some scenes, actor Charles Fleischer, who voiced Roger Rabbit, would appear on the set in a rabbit costume to help the other performers).
