The Looney Tunes movie Coyote vs. Acme received’t be rotting away in David Zaslav’s basement for the subsequent 50 years. Warner Bros. Discovery has offered the rights to the film to Ketchup Leisure, the identical firm that simply launched The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Film.
Ketchup ponied up round $50 million for the movie and it’ll hit theaters in 2026, according to reporting by Deadline. Warner Bros. funded the creation of the film however then shelved it for a tax write-off. You already know the drill. It’s just about the identical factor it did with the Batgirl movie and Scoob! Vacation Hang-out. No one loves scrapping completed tasks greater than WB.
This one, not less than, has a contented ending. Coyote vs. Acme at all times appeared like a reasonably nifty idea. It stars Will Forte and John Cena and follows Wile E. Coyote as he sues infamous producer Acme after he repeatedly fails to catch his arch-nemesis, the roadrunner. Directing duties fell to Dave Inexperienced, who made Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows. It was produced by Chris deFaria and James Gunn, with a screenplay by Might December scribe Samy Burch.
This hasn’t stopped Warner Bros. Discovery from feverishly hitting the “delete” key. It simply pulled all the authentic Looney Tunes shorts from the streaming platform Max. This occurred simply as The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Film was hitting theaters. To be truthful, that movie didn’t precisely blow up the field workplace.
