Will Forte, Lana Condor Represent Wile E. 'Coyote vs. Acme' in Trailer

The two-minute trailer shows Wile E. Coyote suing Acme after Warner Bros. Discovery tried to shelve the finished film for a tax write-off.

  • On Thursday, Ketchup Entertainment released the final trailer for Coyote vs. Acme, a hybrid animation film premiering in theaters on August 28. The two-minute trailer features Wile E. Coyote attempting to sue Acme Corporation for faulty products.
  • Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav shelved the completed film in November 2023 for a $30 million tax write-off. Ketchup acquired the project last year in a deal valued at $50 million, rescuing it from the studio vault.
  • Will Forte stars as a struggling attorney representing Wile E. Coyote against Acme Corporation, while John Cena portrays the company's "big bad boss." The film also features Bugs Bunny, Porky Pig and other Looney Tunes characters.
  • Fans will see the first public screening at Comic-Con this Saturday, July 25, ahead of the wide release. The trailer showcases the madcap violence signature to Looney Tunes cartoons alongside live-action sequences.
  • The trailer leans into the underdog narrative of Wile E. Coyote suing a megacorp, mirroring the film's own journey to theaters after becoming a cause célèbre in Hollywood. Its resurrection from shelving has made it a triumph before box office returns.
