Coyote Vs. Acme director says it was a challenge to update classic Looney Tunes characters for modern audiences: "We're trying to protect legacies that are so much older than us"

Coyote Vs. Acme director Dave Green says he felt a strong responsibility when it came to updating classic Looney Tunes characters for a 2020s audience.

"That is part of the challenge and the hope and the responsibility we have: it's updating these characters for modern audiences while keeping their essences true to who those characters have always been," Green tells GamesRadar+, when asked about the film being an entry point to Looney Tunes for today's kids.

"Myself and my team were really... our preference was really to not put too much of a heavy modern spin on these characters and really to honor who they are, who they've been, and not try to change them," Green continues. "They're on a rental system. Like Eric Bauza, the voiceover artist who does so many voices in this movie, he always says when he's doing one of these great voices that Mel Blanc originated: 'We're just, you know, borrowing the keys to the Cadillac, and I promise to never give it a scratch and return it washed and with more gas in the tank."

The upcoming live-action/computer-animated hybrid comedy is based on the 1990 non-fiction New Yorker story of the same name by Ian Frazier, which sees a fed-up Wile E. Coyote decide to sue the ACME corporation after years and years of failing to capture the Roadrunner. The movie sees Wile team up with a reluctant lawyer named Kevin Avery (Will Forte) in order to bring them down... and the two end up uncovering a much darker secret in the process.
