Will Forte Felt 'White Hot Anger' Over the Shelving of Coyote vs. Acme
"Extreme frustration, fiery frustration, a lot of anger, white hot anger. But then ultimately, that's mixed with pride in this movie we've done. And also, who knows? Everything happens for a reason, and it is certainly possible that the crazy journey that this movie is taking will help get more eyes on it, because it's a story people know about a little bit."
"I got to see it. I love it. I was so proud of it. It was so maddening because it was this beautiful, special little movie that was something I would've been able to share with my kids."
Will Forte experienced significant frustration when Warner Bros. cancelled the completed Coyote vs. Acme film in November 2023 as part of a tax write-off strategy, along with Batgirl and Scoob Holiday Haunt. The movie had been finished and received positive feedback from test screenings, making the cancellation decision confusing. After viewing the final product, Forte's emotions intensified as he recognized the film's quality and felt proud of the work. He expressed both anger at the situation and pride in the movie, while acknowledging the possibility that the film's unusual journey might generate additional attention. Forte lamented that the cancellation prevented him from sharing this special project with his children.
