Warner Bros. has reversed its decision to shelve the completed 'Coyote vs. Acme' film, allowing the filmmakers to shop it to other potential distributors. The $70 million live action/CGI hybrid Looney Tunes film, starring John Cena and Lana Condor, was initially scrapped by Warner Bros. and set for a $30 million tax write-off. However, following significant backlash, the studio is now preparing screenings for potential acquisition by streamers like Amazon Prime, Apple, and Netflix. Several filmmakers canceled meetings with Warner Bros. after the initial shelving, and Congressman Joaquin Castro has called for a federal investigation into WB's handling of the situation, criticizing the tactic of scrapping films for tax breaks as predatory and anti-competitive.
