Wednesday marked the debut of the first look at 'Coyote vs. Acme,' directed by Dave Green. Will Forte, known from 'SNL,' leads as the lawyer defending Wile E. Coyote against Acme Corp. in court. Deadline first shared details of the trailer's release, highlighting the film's hybrid style blending live-action and animation from the Looney Tunes universe.
