- The completed live-action and animation comedy "Coyote vs. Acme" was canceled by Warner Bros. after it had already been finished.
- The cancellation drew a strong outcry and surprised people in Hollywood because the film was already complete.
- Will Forte stars as Wile E. Coyote's attorney, and Dave Green directed the movie.
- The film is based on an Ian Frazier New Yorker piece and was inspired by "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?"
- Three years later, the movie is being released by independent distributor Ketchup Entertainment.
Warner Bros. canceled the finished film "Coyote vs. Acme" after the production had already been completed. The movie blends live action and animation and centers on Wile E. Coyote's lawsuit against Acme, with Will Forte playing his lawyer and Dave Green directing.
The decision to shelve the film triggered an outcry and was unusual in Hollywood because it affected a completed project rather than a movie still in development. Forte said the cast and crew had expected to see the film and were shaken when they learned it would not be released by the studio.
The AP report says the movie drew on an Ian Frazier New Yorker column and was inspired by "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" Three years after Warner Bros. canceled it, the film is now being released by independent distributor Ketchup Entertainment.
《Coyote vs. Acme》被华纳兄弟取消，但三年后故事并未就此结束
华纳兄弟在《Coyote vs. Acme》已经拍摄完成后，取消了这部影片的上映计划。这部电影结合真人与动画元素，讲述威利·E·郊狼起诉 Acme 的故事，威尔·福特饰演他的律师，戴夫·格林执导。
这一搁置决定引发外界强烈反弹，因为被取消的是一部已经完成的作品，而不是仍在制作中的项目。福特说，演员和剧组原本是去观看影片，得知它不会由片方发行时都感到震动。
美联社报道称，这部电影取材自伊恩·弗雷泽在《纽约客》发表的专栏文章，并受到《谁陷害了兔子罗杰？》的启发。华纳兄弟取消影片三年后，这部电影如今将由独立发行商 Ketchup Entertainment 上映。
