It seems Warner Bros.’ unreleased Looney Tunes film may never be released, despite hopes to the contrary.
Just like the bad guy out of Who Framed Roger Rabbit, real life cartoon villain David Zaslav has revealed his nefarious plot: based on a damning investigative report from the Wrap, it seems the Warner Bros. head honcho planned to delete Coyote vs. Acme all along. Apparently, he never even watched the movie.
Initially, there was hope that Coyote vs. Acme might have found alternate distribution. But as the investigation revealed, “Throughout the process, Warner Bros. refused to share specific details with the filmmakers about the proposed deals (and Warner Bros.’ rejection of those deals). Everything was captured through a hazy fog of secondhand phone calls and conversations. There were champions of the project, for sure, but they couldn’t force Warner Bros. to properly communicate with the filmmakers.
