Screening of the live-action Looney Tunes courtroom comedy 'Coyote Vs. Acme', directed by Dave Green and starring Will Forte and John Cena.
Coyote Vs. Acme comes to The Odyssey Cinema on Saturday 7 November, a live-action Looney Tunes comedy that takes the old rivalry between Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner and drags it into a courtroom. The premise is simple: after years of failing to catch the bird with Acme's unreliable inventions, Wile E. Coyote is persuaded by a lawyer that he has grounds to sue the company. The resulting trial soon engulfs both the cartoon and the human world, pairing the slapstick of the original shorts with a corporate conspiracy plot.
It's directed by Dave Green, with a cast that includes Will Forte, Lana Condor, John Cena, Martha Kelly and P. J. Byrne. The film was based on an old New Yorker piece and only reached the screen after a high-profile campaign against the studio's plan to shelf it, so it's one of those rare cases where the story behind the movie is almost as much of a talking point as the film itself. It carries a PG certificate, making it a safe bet for families.
