Originally slated for a theatrical release last July, « Coyote vs. Acme » was reportedly shelved by Warner Bros. Discovery in November.
A verdict seems to have been reached in the case of « Coyote vs. Acme, » the Warner Bros. Discovery courtroom comedy based on the popular Looney Tunes character.
The movie will likely never come out, lead actor Will Forte said in a statement on social media Thursday.
Originally slated for a theatrical release last July, the film was reportedly shelved in November last year, according to Deadline.
Democratic Rep. Joaquin Castro of Texas alleged last year that the hiatus was part of a wider pattern of shelving films for tax breaks.
« The [Warner Bros. Discovery] tactic of scrapping fully made films for tax breaks is predatory and anti-competitive, » Castro wrote on social media in November.
Following fan and industry outrage over the film’s unceremonious fate, Netflix, Amazon and Paramount screened the film and « submitted handsome offers, » none of which were accepted, The Wrap reported earlier this month.
