Warner Bros.' seemingly shelved film, Coyote vs. Acme, may be heading for a theatrical release after all, according to Deadline. Ketchup Entertainment, a Los Angeles-based independent film company, is reportedly in advanced negotiations to acquire the completed film, which was previously believed to be canceled.
While the deal isn't finalized, a 2026 theatrical release is anticipated should negotiations succeed.
Coyote vs. Acme, announced in 2022 and adapted from Ian Frazier's 1990 New Yorker article, boasts a star-studded cast including Will Forte and John Cena, and was co-written by James Gunn. Initially slated for a mid-2023 release on Max, the film was shelved despite completing production, sparking a significant online campaign to secure its release.
Ketchup Entertainment recently demonstrated its commitment to rescuing potentially lost projects, successfully acquiring and releasing Warner Bros.' *The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie*. This marked the first theatrical release for a fully animated Looney Tunes film and garnered positive reviews, with IGN calling it a "laugh-out-loud riot."Ketchup Entertainment's previous projects include Hellboy: The Crooked Man, the Robert Rodriguez thriller Hypnotic (starring Ben Affleck), and co-production on Michael Mann's 2023 Ferrari biopic.
