The live-action and animated hybrid film 'Coyote vs. Acme,' directed by Dave Green, brings together Will Forte as a personal injury lawyer and Eric Bauza as the voice of Wile E. Coyote. The film is based on a 1990 New Yorker parody that imagined the mute cartoon character suing the Acme Corporation for selling him defective products used in his endless pursuit of the Road Runner.
The movie spent nearly three decades in development before finally being produced in 2022 with a budget of approximately $70 million. Warner Bros. initially shelved the film, determining it was more valuable as a tax write-off, though it was eventually released in theaters. The story takes place in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where humans and cartoon characters coexist in a shared world reminiscent of 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit,' featuring characters like Tweety, the Tasmanian Devil, and Porky Pig.
影评：真人卡通混合电影《郊狼大战阿克米》未能成功
由戴夫·格林执导的真人与动画混合电影《郊狼大战阿克米》汇聚了威尔·福特饰演的人身伤害律师和埃里克·鲍扎为郊狼配音的表演。该片基于1990年《纽约客》的讽刺作品，设定这只沉默的卡通角色起诉阿克米公司销售缺陷产品，这些产品被他用于无休止地追捕路跑者。
这部电影在经历近三十年的开发后，于2022年制作完成，预算约7000万美元。华纳兄弟公司最初将该片搁置，认为作为税收减免更有价值，但最终还是在影院上映。故事设定在新墨西哥州阿尔伯克基，人类与卡通角色在一个共享的世界中共存，类似于《谁陷害了兔子罗杰》，其中包括推特鸟、塔斯马尼亚恶魔和波基猪等角色。
