For years, the Road Runner has been uncaught because of defective products from ACME.. Wile E. Coyote never had a chance..
Will Forte will now represent.
This movie has been shelved for a long time but later this summer, on August 29, it is finally being released into theaters..
Deadline reports, while Warner Bros. long ago completed and tested the film, also starring John Cena and Lana Condor, they shelved it all the way back in the fall of 2023 amid rampant cost-cutting efforts led by Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav. The move ignited outrage not only among the film’s key creatives, but across Hollywood at large, leading the studio to shop the project. Multiple studios placed bids, but Ketchup Entertainment wound up landing the project in a deal valued at around $50M, as we first reported last March.
It was shelved in 2023 when WBD CEO David Zaslav decided to cancel it – along with a number of other films and shows – in order to receive a tax write-down.
Even Will Forte said at the time, “My thoughts were that it’s f–king bulls–t. It is such a delightful movie. It deserves so much better than it got,” he said. “I can not tell you possibly why the decision was made to not release it. But it makes my blood boil.”
The people who begged for this movie better go see it in theaters. This isn’t just a movie anymore, it’s a message to big movie companies!
