Coyote vs. Acme Reportedly Being Shopped to Distributors, Not Shelved, After Outrage From Filmmakers and Fans

Warner Bros. has reportedly reversed course on Coyote vs. Acme, and will allow the filmmakers to shop the movie around Hollywood in a search for a new distributor. The news comes days after Warners announced they should shelve the film entirely and write it down for a $30 million tax credit, declaring the movie a total loss.

"For three years, I was lucky enough to make a movie about Wile E. Coyote, the most persistent, passionate, and resilient character of all time," director Dave Green posted on social media last week."I was surrounded by a brilliant team, who poured their souls into this project for years. We were all determined to honor the legacies of these historic characters and actually get them right. Along the ride, we were embraced by test audiences who rewarded us with fantastic scores.

Coyote vs. Acme was directed by Green, from a screenplay by Samy Burch and a story by James Gunn, Jeremy Slater and Burch. The story was reportedly partially inspired by an article from The New Yorker, which was written by Ian Frazier in 1990.
