During a recent interview with MTV News' Josh Horowitz, Zemeckis made his clearest statement yet that he'll use mo-cap for the human actors and that the movie will be partly in 3-D.
"All the other characters that [the cartoons] would sort of have fun with would be magnificent in performance capture technology," he explained.

Zemeckis did reveal though that he likely wouldn't use 3-D technology with the cartoon characters, only live-action characters.
"I wouldn't use it for the cartoon characters, because I think they should stay two-dimensional because that's what - I wouldn't dimensonalize Roger," he said. "And I couldn't dimensonalize Jessica even if I wanted to because she doesn't have a nose. We wouldn't want to give her a nose."

Seeing that Zemeckis is obessed with motion capture usually I'll say no but seeing that they want to bring back Eddie Valaint and the actor who portrayed him is like 60 something....I approve motin capture Just this once....

Ugh, just use actors and hand drawn cartoons. It shouldn't be that difficult to figure out.

Lame. What the f*ck is the point in motion capturing the live action actors? You lose the entire feel of the world by doing that. Whatever...who gives a sh*t.

Awesome. I'm glad they're finally moving forward with this. And just as long as they keep the cartoon characters hand drawn, I'll be happy. :)
