The final trailer for Coyote vs. Acme has arrived.

Ketchup Entertainment has released the newest trailer for the upcoming live-action and animated hybrid movie.

Iconic Looney Tunes characters star alongside Will Forte and John Cena in the film, which “centers on Wile E. Coyote as he takes legal action against the Acme Corporation for the countless faulty products that have hindered his relentless pursuit of the Road Runner,” according to its synopsis.

The trailer finds Wile E. Coyote having the idea to hire a lawyer to sue the Acme Corporation for all the harm it has caused him.

“Have you ever set a big stack of TNT on the road hoping to blow up your nemesis but the detonator itself explodes? Have you ever pulled the ripcord of your parachute, and only a bunch of silverware comes out? It’s not your fault. ACME is evil,” Forte’s Kevin Avery says in an attorney ad Wile E. Coyote watches.

Later on, he describes Wile E. Coyote as “one of the most hardworking people I’ve ever met.”

“He would never think of quitting,” Forte says. “Everyone should be inspired by that.”

Coyote vs. Acme was shelved by Warner Bros. Pictures in 2023. In 2024, Warner Bros. Discovery wrote off $115 million of its content as part of an earnings filing it called a “strategic realignment plan associated with the Warner Bros. Pictures Animation group.” It’s presumed Coyote vs. Acme was one of the projects affected by the decision. Ketchup Entertainment acquired the film in March 2025.

Lana Condor, Tone Bell, P.J. Byrne and Martha Kelly also star. It is directed by Dave Green with a screenplay written by May December scribe Samy Burch. James Gunn and Chris DeFaria produced the film.

Coyote vs. Acme blasts into theaters on Aug. 28.

Construction workers strike gold at work – literally

(CNN) — Forget overtime. This construction crew hit the mother lode.Eight construction workers uncovered gold coins and bars worth 9 million euros ($10.5 million) in Belgium last Tuesday while at work, according to authorities.They made the golden discovery underneath a building they were performing renovation work on in the city of Dendermonde, about 19 miles northwest of Brussels.“Apparently, during drilling operations, the drill bit got stuck — hitting a gold bar,” Patrick Feys, Chief of the Dendermonde Police District, told Belgian broadcaster VTM.He said once the discovery was made, the workers contacted the property owner who then called the police.Careful inventory work had been carried out under camera surveillance at the police station before the gold was sealed to avoid future disputes, the police chief added.Images on the Dendermonde police’s Facebook page show a metal bucket filled with gold coins and a table covered in gold bars.A police investigation is underway to determine how the gold ended up being placed there and who legally owns it, according to the Associated Press.“I hope they can use it to fund a worthy cause, though that will be determined by further investigation and legal proceedings,” Feys told VTM.The-CNN-Wire™ & © 2026 Cable News Network, Inc., a Warner Bros.
