For Coyote vs. Acme Actor, Shelving the Film Is Personal: 'You Approved It!'
Steven Ray Byrd shares his powerful story about why Coyote vs. Acme was so important to him, and why its cancelation hurts.
Coyote vs. Acme is a satirical film that takes characters from Looney Tunes and brings them into the real world, a la Who Framed Roger Rabbit? As the title suggests, the film concerns a lawsuit initiated by Wile E. Coyote, who is sick of the many faulty and cheap Acme products he purchases to aid in his pursuit of the Roadrunner. Will Forte plays the sadsack lawyer who takes on his cause; John Cena leads Acme's legal team. Ultimately, it's a lawsuit that feels more and more realistic today, with many people questioning the responsibility of corporations and wealthy elites seemingly sheltered from any culpability.
