The Infamous Looney Tunes "ACME Corporation" Getting A Movie Made - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

The beep-beep’ing, What’s up Doc’cin, That’s all Folks’ian world of the Looney Tunes are definitely, er, back in action! Check this : Warner Bros have a live-action/CGI hybrid Bugs Bunny film in development, they also recently announced a Pepe le Pew flick (with Mike Myers voicing the stinky, sleazy rodent), and they’ve been tinkering with a “Marvin the Martian” movie for the better part of 18 months. Something tells me they see potential there.

Now comes word that the studio has snapped up a pitch about the ACME Warehouse, the establishment that makes and distributes – to folks like Wile E.Coyote – explosives and so on (Steve Martin played the head of the dastardly corporation in Joe Dante’s “Looney Tunes : Back in Action”) but, funnily enough, the film will not feature the Looney Tunes characters (!) – nup, not even the Roadrunner-hating Coyote.

Instead, the ACME movie will, says THR, be “a live-action CG hybrid featuring the many outlandish devices of the company in a tone that recalls the Amblin pics of the 1980s or a Men in Black-style movie.”

Warners hopes the first flick, written by Kevin and Dan Hageman, will be the start of a new franchise. It could work… but leaving the Looney Tunes characters out of the film is a bit like leaving the box out of “Boxing Helena” no? Don’t they go together!?

Wile E. Coyote almost single handedly kept Acme Corporation in business. Of course he, the Roadrunner, and all the other Looney Tunes characters should be in the movie!!!
