Coyote vs. Acme

The completed live-action/animated film 'Coyote vs. Acme,' based on the Looney Tunes characters Wile E. Coyote and the Acme Corporation, is finally set for release three years after Warner Bros. initially canceled it. The decision to shelve the film, which reportedly received positive test screenings, sparked significant backlash from fans and industry professionals. Director Dave Green and stars like Will Forte were among those who expressed disappointment. Now, independent distributor Ketchup Entertainment has acquired the rights and plans to release the movie. This development is significant as it represents a rare instance of a major studio film being rescued and distributed independently after an initial cancellation, offering a second chance for a project that many believed would never be seen by audiences.
