'Coyote vs. Acme' was canned by Warner Bros. But 3 years later, that's not all folks
- Warner Bros. canceled the completed live-action/animation comedy "Coyote vs. Acme" after it had been finished and tested.
- The cancellation drew strong backlash in Hollywood and among people involved with the film.
- The movie was directed by Dave Green and stars Will Forte, with Eric Bauza voicing Wile E. Coyote and Lana Condor also in the cast.
- The project was based on an Ian Frazier "Shouts and Murmurs" piece from The New Yorker and was described as inspired by "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?".
- Three years later, the film is being released by independent distributor Ketchup Entertainment.
Warner Bros. had already finished "Coyote vs. Acme" and tested it before canceling the film outright, rather than delaying it or moving it to streaming. The decision triggered an outcry in Hollywood and left cast and crew reacting to the sudden shutdown of a completed project.
The film is a live-action and animation blend directed by Dave Green. It stars Will Forte as Wile E. Coyote’s attorney, with Eric Bauza voicing Wile E. Coyote and Lana Condor among the cast. The project was adapted from an Ian Frazier "Shouts and Murmurs" column in The New Yorker and was described as drawing inspiration from "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?"
Three years after the cancellation, the movie is being released after all. Independent distributor Ketchup Entertainment is handling the rollout, turning what had been a high-profile studio cancellation into an eventual theatrical release.
《Coyote vs. Acme》曾被华纳兄弟取消，但三年后故事并未就此结束
《Coyote vs. Acme》在完成制作并经过试映后，被华纳兄弟直接取消上映，而不是延期或转投流媒体。这一决定在好莱坞引发强烈反弹，也让参与影片制作的演员和工作人员面对一部已完成作品突然被叫停的局面。
这部片子由戴夫·格林执导，属于真人与动画结合的作品。威尔·福特在片中饰演威利·E·郊狼的律师，埃里克·鲍扎为威利·E·郊狼配音，拉娜·康多也参与演出。影片改编自伊恩·弗雷泽在《纽约客》上的“Shouts and Murmurs”专栏，并被描述为受《谁陷害了兔子罗杰》启发。
在取消上映三年后，这部电影如今又将面世。独立发行商 Ketchup Entertainment 负责发行，使这部曾被片方放弃的项目最终走向上映。
