Coyote vs. ACME

Opens August 28

With a razor-sharp—and genuinely hilarious—screenplay from Academy Award nominee Samy Burch (Late Fame, May December), Coyote vs. ACME finds Wile E. Coyote dejected after, time and time again, the products of the ACME corporation have backfired in his constant pursuit of the Road Runner. Fed up with the faulty products, Wile E. hires an equally-unlucky human attorney named Kevin Avery (Will Forte) to sue the company. When Avery finds out that his former law firm’s intimidating boss (John Cena) is representing ACME, he becomes inspired by his perpetual underdog client and commits himself to winning the case against the giant corporation.

"It’s a pleasure to report that the film is a hilarious delight, one of the best live-action/animation films ever, and will be treasured by Looney Tunes fans (and who isn’t one?) who will be thrilled seeing their favorite cartoon characters return to the big screen."
Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter
"[Will] Forte is crucial here: his hangdog, faintly exhausted performance a counterbalance to the film’s dizzying vortex of lunacy. Forget world-building – blending live-action with animation, you instantly accept humans live alongside cartoons."
Simon Cook, Time Out
