So... There Might Be A Wile E. Coyote Movie

[Agent Z]

Cue the falling pianos: Warner Bros.’ Wile E. Coyote movie, “Coyote vs. Acme,” is one step closer to the big screen, having secured director Dave Green.

Green will help develop the live action-animation hybrid, which is currently seeking a writer. The animated feature follows the infamous Looney Tunes prairie woof whose objective is obliterating his nemesis Road Runner. Acme is the fictional company that provides Coyote with his many weapons, all of which invariably fail, leaving him squashed flat or burnt to a crisp.

Green most recently helmed 2016’s “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows,” which was released by Paramount and earned over $245 million worldwide. Prior to that, he directed the cult animated film “Earth to Echo,” about a group of kids who come to the rescue of a visiting alien. He is a protege of Sam Raimi, and a prolific music video and short film director. Green is with UTA, Kaplan/Perrone and Hirsch Wallerstein.

I am very eager to have a chance to miss this.

[Hybrid]

Is this really targeting the big screen? Because I think it'd do better on HBO Max than at the box office. Just seems a little too niche.

[Frontier]

Sounds like it could be fun .

[Vakanai]

Will he finally catch that Roadrunner?

[Frobisher]

Should be Ryan Reynolds with coyote ears taped on.

There is only one actor with the range, sense of humor and ability to take a beating that can pull off this role.

Of course I'm talking about Gonzo the Great.

I'm not sure what to make of this, but I'm curious.

Warner Brothers really have no idea what to do with the Looney Toons anymore right ?

I wouldn't say that. They're making a new Looney Tunes series that's actually in the spirit of the brand.

Dwight Schrute was already kind of a live-action Wile E Coyote.

"Live action/animation hybrid." Dear God, it's gonna be Kangaroo Jack.

Really? My first thoughts were Who Framed Roger Rabbit? and Space Jam.
