There are many angles from which to view the treatment of Dave Green’s long-awaited Coyote vs. Acme. On the one hand, Warner Bros. Discovery’s tax write-off three years ago signals a discouraging shift in Hollywood, a trend that spells disaster any way you look at it. On the other, Ketchup Entertainment’s reclamation lends a meta aspect to the heart of this hero’s journey — the little guy facing off against an impossible adversary. While talking with Collider’s Steve Weintraub, stars Will Forte, John Cena, and Lana Condor offer their own perspectives on the film’s uphill battle to theaters.
Currently sitting at a perfect 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, Coyote vs. Acme opens with a disgruntled Wile E. Coyote, once again bested by his nemesis, the Road Runner. In search of a different approach, he reaches out to attorney Kevin Avery (Forte) to sue the infamous ACME Corporation, whose products are at the root of all his failures.
During their interview, Forte, Cena, and Condor share what this long road to release has been like, from reading the script and working together on set, to the heartbreaking shelving that Forte says left him questioning, “Am I nuts?” They talk about the animation and live-action hybrid, and how Who Framed Roger Rabbit set the bar for movies like this, and Condor shares the hopeful message she hopes audiences take away from Coyote vs. Acme.
Coyote vs. Acme opens in theaters on August 28.
