Warner Bros.' previously shelved film, Coyote vs. Acme, may soon grace the silver screen after all, as reported by Deadline. The Los Angeles-based independent film company, Ketchup Entertainment, is currently engaged in deep negotiations to acquire the rights to this completed project, which was initially thought to be permanently abandoned.
While the deal has yet to be finalized, a successful acquisition would pave the way for a theatrical release of Coyote vs. Acme in 2026. This film, announced in 2022, is inspired by Ian Frazier's 1990 New Yorker article of the same name. Co-written by James Gunn and featuring Will Forte and John Cena, it was originally slated for a mid-2023 release on Max. Despite completing production, the movie was unexpectedly shelved, sparking a persistent fan-driven campaign to revive it.
Ketchup Entertainment has a track record of rescuing films from oblivion, having recently saved Warner Bros.' *The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie* from a similar fate. This intervention allowed the film to secure a theatrical run in the US, marking it as the first fully animated Looney Tunes movie to hit theaters. IGN's review hailed it as a "laugh-out-loud riot."Ketchup Entertainment's portfolio includes notable releases such as Hellboy: The Crooked Man and the Robert Rodriguez thriller Hypnotic, starring Ben Affleck. The company also co-produced Michael Mann's 2023 biopic, Ferrari.
