“Coyote vs. Acme” was set to follow “Looney Tunes” character Wile E. Coyote as he joins a lawyer, played by Will Forte, in a lawsuit against Acme, the company whose inventions have backfired on him for as long as the character has existed. The movie is a combination of live-action and animation mixed together.
If this sounds like a great concept to you, you’re not alone. “What was so exciting was that it felt like the film captured the voice of the Looney Tunes that we love in a way none of the other feature versions have ever done,” said actor and comedian Paul Scheer, who was at a screening of the movie back in 2021 (per The Wrap).
The criticism of David Zaslav was especially palpable following reports that he hasn’t even seen “Coyote vs. Acme” and is still set on wiping the project from the face of the Earth. “DAVID ZASLAV HAS NEVER SEEN THE MOVIE,” emphasized @thatclarafied. “Y’all this man is burning WB to ground and isn’t even watching the movies. I’m begging the shareholders to get rid of him. BEGGING.”
These are but a few of the countless tweets tearing WBD and Zaslav to shreds, and based on this reaction, it’s possible that the corporation will re-think its decision, especially as it’s starting to feel more like The People vs. Warner Bros. Discovery.
