Will Forte Details Working With the Looney Tunes in Coyote vs. Acme
Ойын-сауық
SNL alum Will Forte has shared the screen with plenty of talented people throughout his excellent career, from Bruce Dern in the emotional road trip dramedy Nebraska to Kristen Schaal in his Emmy-nominated comedy The Last Man on Earth among many others. In the upcoming film, Coyote vs. Acme, however, he's co-starring with arguably his most enduringly popular screen partner yet - Wile E. Coyote. Set to release this year, the comedic live-action animation hybrid will see Forte playing a lawyer for the perpetually unfortunate coyote who forges a bond with him as they battle the infamous Acme corporation which is responsible for many of Wile E's injuries.
While Forte was attending this year's Sundance Film Festival for Aliens Abducted My Parents and Now I Feel Kinda Left Out, Collider's own Steve Weintraub asked what the actor could reveal about the project. He broke down the general premise of defending one of the Looney Tunes' most iconic characters and drew comparisons to the all-time classic Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, especially with the mix of animation and live-action. Most of all, he heaped praise on his co-stars John Cena and Lana Condor as well as the talented creative team that features Earth to Echo's Dave Green at the helm with Samy Burch penning the screenplay and James Gunn and Chris DeFaria producing:
"I mean, it was so fun to make this. It came out of this article that I think is decades old. Wiley Coyote is suing the Acme Corporation because of all the different contraptions that have exploded in his face, and stuff like that. And so, I get to play Wile E. Coyote's lawyer, and it's a mixture of animation, and it's like a Who Framed Roger Rabbit? style movie. And yeah, John Cena is so great in it. Lana Condor is in it. It was so much fun making it, and these guys who are making it are so smart. Because you’ve got to figure out where this animated character is going to move to. It was amazing to be a part of it. So, I'm excited to see how it turns out because, of course, I'm acting with a tennis ball a lot of times. There's a tennis ball for an eye-line, and it's moving around. So, yeah, I think, I don't know how much more I can say about it, but I've blathered on for a while."

I do. He was in a suit about to go in and do a scene. I watched how they did some of the scenes through the security cameras. Pretty cool stuff
If it’s Who Framed Roger Rabbit-style, the Looney Tunes should be hand-drawn animated.

Not anymore. Warner Bros. has faced so much backlash from the entertainment industry for initially shelving it that they eventually reversed their decision and allowed the filmmakers to shop Coyote vs. Acme to third-party distributors such as Amazon, Apple and Netflix.
Will Forte is the voice of Tyler Cutebiker from Gravity Falls so seeing him in Coyote vs Acme is awesome for me.

@@thefantasticretroreviewer3941 For some reason, there’s still no release date for the movie. Like, multiple sources kept saying 2023 but no specific date and interestingly enough, it was originally slated for July 21st of this year but WB decided to give that date to the live action Barbie film.

Interesting choices.....I think
Coyote vs. Acme was visual effects and feature animation by DNEG Animation.
RELEASE THE F-ING MOVIE WB
0:56, John Cena is a good choice, since he is both an Actor and was part of the WWE, same with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.
Honestly the movie could still suck even if the casting choices like John Cena as the head of the Acme corp and Will Forte as Coyote's lawyer are pretty amusing. If Wile E Coyote doesn't talk like he did in the Bugs bunny cartoons where he is called super genius than this movie is doomed to fail. Coyote only talks when he's around other characters. Also I saw one of the comments here bring up casting choices. Honestly they should hire Jason Issacs to play Wile E Coyote since I think he can pull off a great cartoon impressions if he were given more chances. He played Dick Dastardly in the Scoob movie being the highlight of the entire thing. Mind you both movies star Will Forte.
I'm so aggravated that they canceled the film. They need to course correct NOW

Honestly if they're able to pull this off, this could be the Who Framed Roger Rabbit of the 2020s. And let's be real - we'd all rather see this than Disney live action remakes
:(
