Inside the Coyote vs. Acme Rollercoaster From a Voice Actor at the Front of the Campaign to Save It
Coyote vs. Acme voice actor Eric Bauza sits down with IGN to talk about making the movie, the rollercoaster journey after the initial news that it was being scrapped, and being on the front lines of the social media campaign to save it.
If WB ultimately kills it, I hope it leaks and it's pirated far and wide.
I don't pirate movies, but I would for this one. What damages could they even possibly claim?
Is it even pirating at that point? WB gets their tax write off regardless. At least the artists work gets to see the light of day.
Honestly, in such cases there should be a requirement that the movie becomes public domain. The taxpayers are paying for it (through lack of tax income), the studio cannot make money from it, actors that expected loyalties are royally screwed anyway, and those who expected promotion got the worse deal of all.
Even fit WB it would be a PR win. I don't see how they benefit from hoarding, if anything they look even worse.
It almost definitely won't leak. I don't believe a major unreleased movie has leaked ever.
I watched a studio copy of Ford vs Ferrari months before it hit theaters. They definitely leak.
I hope the IRS tells WB they can’t take a tax write off for a property that other studios have offered to buy (for more than the write down value).
I know it's not the case, but imagine if this was the ultimate viral marketing campaign.
I mean... Imagine how terrible it's gotta be for the doofuses at WB to shelf this, considering the utter garbage they've been putting out since forever.
WB doesn't give two fucks about the quality of their content, they just want to be able to make cheap fucking money. Toys, theaters, or tax write-offs. If it's not gonna end up making bookoos of cash in theaters or off the toy shelf, they have no problem dumping bathtubs, babies n' all.
Discovery-Warner/HBO/wtf-they-are-now will gladly tell artists to get fucked for a tax write-off. Based on how much beloved shit they've been using to feed the flames of their eternal dumpster-fire, I'm pretty sure that their C-suite considers shitting on artists a job benefit.
They aren't shelving it. From what I understand, they are completely deleting it from existence order to get the full write-off.
Unsure if it's in this one but another interview by someone who worked on it said it was great. And it tested great. It's probably all armor ROI, if WB doesn't think it'll make maximum money they'd rather have tax write off.
