Warner Bros. Discovery faced backlash after shelving the completed Coyote vs. Acme film for a tax write-off. Fans and filmmakers reacted strongly, but the project was revived with a $50 million distribution deal from Ketchup Entertainment. The film, a live-action animation hybrid featuring Will Forte and John Cena, was inspired by a New Yorker article and had previously garnered positive screen-test reactions. Despite efforts to secure a deal with major streaming services failing, director Dave Green and cast expressed their pride in the film and discontent with the earlier decision to shelve it.
This film has been a labor of love for everyone involved, and we all believed strongly in its potential to delight audiences.
The original concept of Coyote vs. Acme was inspired by a thought-provoking article from the New Yorker, capturing the essence of Wile E. Coyote’s struggles.
