- I saw the movie that Warner tried to delete: ‘Coyote vs. Acme’The backstory to how this movie got to a theater near you could be a movie. And it might be someday, but Hollywood won’t make it. Hollywood isn’t making a lot of movies these days. Production has moved away, to Texas, to Georgia, to Canada. California has the natural environment that created Hollywood in the first place, but the business environment that has driven much of Hollywood away and is strangling what’s left of it. It’s so bad that President Donald Trump recently stepped in to try to save the industry that’s been weaponized against him. Hollywood has mostly forgotten that its primary purpose is to entertain. Warner Bros. had a movie it spent $70 million to create, finished in 2022. It brought some big names together – James Gunn as writer and producer, stars John Cena and Will Forte, and even bigger names in Bugs Bunny, Wile E. Coyote, and all the other classics from Looney Tunes. Warner didn’t just launch production on this film, it went through the entire process, and had a finished work that was ready for theaters. It was called "Coyote vs. Acme," pitting the hapless Wile E. Coyote against the megacorp from which he'd bought so much failed gear from over the decades.TRUMP URGES BIPARTISAN FEDERAL TAX INCENTIVE TO BRING FILM, TV PRODUCTION BACK TO THE USBut thanks to perverse tax incentives and a difficult climate for major movie releases, Warner decided to do the unthinkable: It was going to delete this finished movie. Not just shelve it. Destroy it. Will Forte, who plays Coyote’s attorney in the film, appeared on Jay Mohr’s podcast, called it "A very frustrating story." "So we make this movie. The script is really fun. And then, we went through the process of making this movie, and we made an even better movie than this great script." Because half the film is animated with composited cartoon characters, anvils and other tropes, post-production was a long process. But it got through all that, Forte says, and they were called to a screening. "After all the animation, they’re finally ready to show it to the cast. They called us up on a Tuesday night. Said, ‘OK we’re gonna show it to you next Tuesday. It’s testing really well, we’re very excited about it.’ The next day I get a call that Warner Bros. is going to shelve it. Just wants to take a tax loss." The cast still got to see the movie.… [TheTopNews] Read More.9 hours ago
