THE INSIDE SCOOP
In a surprising turn of events, Warner Bros. has slammed the brakes on the much-anticipated film ‘Coyote Vs. Acme.’ This ambitious project, which boasted top-tier talents like John Cena and the visionary James Gunn, seemed poised to redefine cinematic storytelling. But alas, Warner Bros. decided to give it the old heave-ho, citing the need for a tax write-off as their reasoning.
This isn’t the first time the studio has left us scratching our heads in bewilderment. Previous casualties of their post-production chopping block include ‘Batgirl’ and ‘Scoob!,’ reminding us that no film is safe from the chopping block, even after the cameras stop rolling.
However, amidst this cinematic chaos, we’ve uncovered a hidden gem—a behind-the-scenes peek at the ‘Coyote Vs. Acme’ soundtrack, composed by the talented Steven Price. This tantalizing footage showcases a choir performing a snippet of Tchaikovsky’s classic composition, but with an unexpected twist. Instead of the traditional rendition, the choir harmonizes using the unmistakable “Meep Meep” sounds of the Roadrunner, the eternal nemesis of the Coyote. Sadly, thanks to corporate decree, this unique musical sequence will forever remain unseen by the public eye.
John Cena, known for his powerhouse performances in films like ‘The Suicide Squad’ and ‘Peacemaker,’ was set to headline ‘Coyote Vs. Acme.’ James Gunn, the creative genius behind Warner Bros.’ DC universe, was also on board as a producer. Despite the star-studded lineup and promising talent, the studio unceremoniously pulled the plug, all in the name of that elusive tax write-off.
Voices within the creative community have not remained silent in the face of this decision. Dave Green, the film’s director, expressed his pride in the final product and his profound devastation over its fate after dedicating three years of his life to the project. In an earlier interview with FilmSweep’s Steven Weintraub, Will Forte, who was set to star in the film, exuded enthusiasm about being part of a family-friendly adventure. Sadly, it appears that ‘Coyote Vs. Acme’ will be confined to the Warner Bros. vaults, forever beyond the reach of eager audiences.
But ‘Coyote Vs. Acme’ is not alone in its tragic tale of cinematic cancellation. Warner Bros. axed the much-anticipated ‘Batgirl’ movie, starring Leslie Grace, and even put the sequel to the animated hit ‘Scoob!’ on ice. It seems that in the unpredictable world of Hollywood, no movie is truly safe from the chopping block, regardless of the progress made in production.
For those curious to experience a fragment of the lost masterpiece, composer Steven Price has graciously shared a video below. Dive in and savor the unique harmony of the “Meep Meep” choir, a testament to the creative spirit that briefly flickered in ‘Coyote Vs. Acme’ before it was extinguished by corporate decisions. _xD83C__xDFB5__xD83C__xDFA5__xD83E__xDD8A__xD83C__xDFC1_
