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.

“Purpose Over Pleasure”: Harris County Clerk Teneshia Hudspeth Turns Down $305,000 Salary and Delivers a WOW Lesson in Leadership

Click here for updates on this story    August 24, 2026 (Houston Style Magazine) -- HOUSTON — Jonathan Traylor captured it in three unforgettable words: “Purpose over Pleasure.” And every so often, a public official makes a decision that gives those words real-world meaning—so refreshingly unexpected that taxpayers collectively lean closer and say, “WOW.” Harris County Clerk Teneshia Hudspeth has created one of those moments, choosing employees, fiscal stewardship and the mission of serving Harris County over personal financial gain after announcing that she would not accept her newly authorized $305,000 salary if the increase had to be absorbed within her office’s existing budget.Harris County Clerk Teneshia Hudspeth has created one of those moments.photo After Harris County Commissioners Court approved salary increases placing several countywide elected officials at $305,000 annually, Hudspeth announced she would not accept her newly authorized salary because the additional compensation came without additional funding for her office. Recent county budget proceedings confirm the $305,000 salary level approved for most affected elected officials.Why?Because accepting more for herself could mean having less available for the people helping her office serve Harris County. Somebody cue Jonathan Traylor.“Purpose over Pleasure.” That simple phrase from Traylor’s song could practically serve as the soundtrack to Hudspeth’s decision.Hudspeth could have taken the money, smiled for the cameras and kept moving. Instead, she thanked Commissioners Court for recognizing the responsibilities and demands of her position while explaining that the increase would have to be absorbed within the County Clerk’s existing budget.Her priority, she said, remains filling positions requested during the budget process and maintaining staffing necessary to serve Harris County residents.In other words: recognition appreciated; mission first.Making History—Then Giving Leadership Meaning
