Coyote

While it hasn’t been confirmed by Warner Bros Discovery management just yet, star Will Forte’s Coyote vs. Acme update seems to indicate that the battle is indeed over. The shelved Looney Tunes comedy adventure seems to be on its way to deletion, with little left to do but officially break the news to the public. Though voice actor Eric Bauza hasn’t given up hope for the project’s 2024 movie schedule status, he has shared his fears for what happens next in terms of the legendary animation franchise. To be honest, I don’t…

The Coyote vs. Acme drama continues, but unfortunately, it’s not the update animation and movie fans in general were looking for. When the news broke in November of 2023 that Warner Bros was thinking about scrapping the hybrid animated movie like it did with Batgirl, in exchange for a tax break, several creatives behind the film spoke out in protest. Fans were also quick to get behind the allegedly-canceled movie by launching an impressive social media campaign aimed at either getting the movie released or leaked, while…

Warner Bros. Discovery threatened to deal another harsh blow to moviemaking as a whole when it considered shelving Coyote vs. Acme for a $30 million tax write-down, eliciting the fury of film fans around the world. Now lead actor Will Forte is offering his two cents. Coyote vs. Acme is a comedy movie mixing animation with live-action from the Looney Tunes franchise, where Wile E. Coyote decides to sue Acme Corporation, hiring a struggling attorney (Forte) to go up against Wile E.’s former boss (John Cena), now…

If you’re a fan of animation, especially someone who loves and respects the Looney Tunes legacy, you’ve been following the story of how Coyote vs. Acme might be shelved for good over at Warner Bros. Discovery. The latest round of whispers seemed to suggest that the company’s recent Q4 2023 earnings call would give the world an update on whether we’d see this film on the 2024 movie schedule, or if the deletion of director Dave Green’s completed film will stick this time. Well that call has come and gone, and neither…

Just like the bad guy out of Who Framed Roger Rabbit, real life cartoon villain David Zaslav has revealed his nefarious plot: based on a damning investigative report from the Wrap, it seems the Warner Bros. head honcho planned to delete Coyote vs. Acme all along. Apparently, he never even watched the movie.Who Wants DC’s Canceled Batgirl Movie? | New York Comic Con 2022Initially, there was hope that Coyote vs. Acme might have found alternate distribution. But as the investigation revealed, “Throughout the process, Warner…

Much like when the Coyote chases the Roadrunner in the classic Warner Bros. cartoons, it seems the Coyote just can’t catch a break. The WB movie Coyote vs. Acme has been the focus of a lot of attention over the last few months. Initially the movie was set to be shelved unseen. Then there was hope that the project might be sold to another studio. Now, however, it seems that possibility has faded away, and Coyote vs. Acme is once again going to the same WB movie graveyard as Batgirl and the Scoob! sequel.The Wrap is…

Throughout the later months of 2023, the drama surrounding the animated feature Coyote vs. Acme looked to be another case of a studio-backed shelving dooming a potential winner. But thanks to large outcry, director Dave Green’s movie was put back into play, sparking a bidding war for potential distribution. Those efforts look to have been officially successful, and I’m ready to slip on some rocket skates to celebrate that the 2024 movie release schedule is about to get some more Looney Tunes. While there hasn’t been any…

When Coyote vs. Acme became the latest project from Warner Bros. to be shelved rather than released, there was an uproar among the filmmakers and the fans who had been eagerly anticipating a movie with a lot of positive buzz. The noise was apparently significant enough that WB noticed, and so instead began offering Acme up to other studios if there was anybody interested in buying it. While there has yet to be a deal, there is a good possibility that the movie may eventually be released, and perhaps even in theaters.A…

As media companies deal with a post-pandemic world, where streaming platforms have become key to success while simultaneously becoming expensive to maintain, a lot is changing in the way studios produce movies and television. We’ve seen a lot of unexpected moves from studios, including removing original content from streaming platforms, and the total shelving of near-completed projects, preventing them from being seen at all. In the case of WB Discovery and Max, we’ve seen both things happen.There’s been a lot of heat on…

Warner Bros. Discovery made headlines days ago, when it was reported that the studio had opted to scrap another film after Batgirl and Scoob! Holiday Haunt. The movie in question was the Looney Tunes spinoff Coyote vs. Acme, which notably starred John Cena. When news of the flick’s apparent demise hit social media, many expressed their displeasure over the studio’s decision. However, there now seems to be hope for Cena’s CvA, as Warner is reportedly allowing the creative team to shop it around at other places. On the…
