Will Forte Condemns Warner Bros. for Shelving 'Coyote vs. Acme' for Tax Write-Off

The actor calls the decision to scrap the completed $70M Looney Tunes film 'f---ing bullsh--' and urges audiences not to forget the studio's actions.

Warner Bros. Discovery shelved the completed live-action/animation hybrid 'Coyote vs. Acme' in 2023 to claim a $30 million tax write-off, sparking backlash from fans and industry professionals.
Will Forte, who played Wile E. Coyote's lawyer in the film, has been vocal about his frustration, calling the decision unfair and expressing pride in the movie's quality.
The film, directed by Dave Green and featuring John Cena and Lana Condor, was shopped to other studios but failed to secure a deal that met Warner Bros.' valuation.
Forte has emphasized the importance of keeping the issue in public discourse, criticizing the studio's practice of shelving completed projects like 'Batgirl' and 'Scoob! Holiday Haunt.'
Despite Warner Bros.' 2024 suggestion that the film might eventually be released, no progress has been made, leaving its future uncertain.
