It's a good day for John Cena and work. Not only will he be reporting back for duty on a second season of Peacemaker, he'll also star in CG/live-action comedy Coyote Vs. Acme.
Earth To Echo's Dave Green is directing, with Samy Birch on script duty (adapting a New Yorker article of the same title by Ian Frazier).
The film follows Wile E. Coyote, who after ACME products fail him one too many times in his dogged pursuit of the Roadrunner, decides to hires a billboard lawyer to sue the ACME Corporation. The case pits Wile E. and his lawyer against the latter’s intimidating former boss (Cena), but a growing friendship between man and cartoon stokes their determination to win.
In another Peacemaker connection, James Gunn is one of the producers of the new movie, which is scheduled to kick off shooting (the human part, at least, as Wile will be CGI) later next month in New Mexico.
