By InCinemas / 09 Mar 2022 (Wednesday)
Lana Condor and Will Forte are tapped to join John Cena in Warner Bros’ Looney Tunes animated hybrid film Coyote vs. Acme!
The live-action/animation film will be directed by Dave Green, with a screenplay from Samy Burch based on the Looney Tunes characters and the New Yorker humor article “Coyote v. Acme” by Ian Frazier.
The film follows Wile E. Coyote, who after ACME products fail him one too many times in his dogged pursuit of the Roadrunner, decides to hire a billboard lawyer to sue the ACME Corporation. The case pits Wile E. and his lawyer (Forte) against the latter’s intimidating former boss (Cena), but a growing friendship between man and cartoon stokes their determination to win.
Forte is best known for his Saturday Night Live character MacGruber. He also has strong ties with Warner Bros Animation Group, having recently voiced Shaggy in Scooby-Doo: A New Universe. Condor on the other hand is the face of the popular Netflix film franchise To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before. She can be seen next in Moonshot, premiering on HBO Max this March 31.
Coyote vs. Acme is set to open in cinemas on July 21, 2023.
