The cancellation of the completed comedy movie 'Coyote vs. Acme' sparked an outcry. Three years later, the Looney Tunes blend of cartoon and live action is being released, via independent distributor Ketchup Entertainment.
Director Dave Green, inspired by 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit?', had completed the editing on the film. The project, which takes an Ian Frazier 'Shouts and Murmurs' column from The New Yorker as its source material, seemed to be paying off with good audience test scores.
However, days before Will Forte, who stars as Wile E. Coyote’s attorney, could see the film, Warner Bros. canceled it altogether. This abrupt termination sent shockwaves through Hollywood, as the wholesale elimination of a finished film was unprecedented.
《Coyote vs. Acme》被华纳兄弟取消，但三年后，这并不是全部
已完成的喜剧电影《Coyote vs. Acme》引发了广泛反响。三年后，这部融合卡通和真人表演的乐高动画片通过独立发行商Ketchup Entertainment发布。
导演Dave Green受《谁陷害了兔子罗杰？》的启发，完成了该电影的剪辑。该项目以《纽约客》的Ian Frazier的“喊叫与嘲讽”专栏为素材，观众测试评分良好。
然而，就在Will Forte（饰演Wile E. Coyote的律师）即将观看影片的几天前，华纳兄弟彻底取消了该影片。这一突然的终止在好莱坞引发了震动，因为彻底消除一部已完成的电影是前所未有的。
