The anvil has been lifted off the live-action/CG animation hybrid feature following a down-and-out billboard lawyer who decides to represent Wile. E. Coyote in a lawsuit against ACME Corporation, with Amazon as a rumored buyer.
From the sidelines to the big screen! Previously shelved live-action/CGI hybrid film Coyote vs. Acme is now being shopped to potential distributors, and voice actor Eric Bauza has taken to X to share a first look.

Apparently Bauza knows something we don’t, stating, “See ya in 2024!” It seems a distributor has already been found, and the film will be released this year. Here’s to hoping those Amazon rumors were true!
Coyote vs. Acme is directed by Dave Green, with a screenplay by Samy Burch, James Gunn, and Jeremy Slater. Based on Ian Frazier’s 1990 humor article “Coyote v. Acme,” the ill-fated flick was adapted for the big screen by Burch. Mixing courtroom procedural and zany comedic elements, the story centers on a down-and-out billboard lawyer who decides to represent Wile. E. Coyote in his lawsuit against ACME Corporation over its defective products.
John Cena (Peacemaker) stars alongside Lana Condor (To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before), Will Forte (Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken), P.J. Byrne (Gen V), and others.
The VFX were created by BUF, DNEG, Double Negative, Firebrand VFX, Framestore, Jellyfish Pictures, and Warner Brothers, with George Murphy acting as visual effects supervisor.
