"Coyote vs. Acme" Finally Sets New Release Date
Yara Sameh Hollywood's improbable underdog 'Coyote vs. Acme' has finally landed a global theatrical release date. Star Will Forte announced at the film's panel at San Diego Comic-Con that the live-action/animation hybrid will premiere on August 28, 2026. 'Coyote vs. Acme' — about Looney Tunes stalwart Wyle E. Coyote suing the Acme Corporation for all its faulty tools in his pursuit of the Road Runner — was infamously shelved by Warner Bros. Discovery in 2023 after it was completed so the company could write off its $30 million budget. The movie was greenlit by the previous regime for the streaming service HBO Max. Still, the team led by WBD's CEO David Zaslav decided to abandon that strategy and focus on theatrical releases instead, a decision that led to the notorious cancellation of HBO Max films 'Batgirl' and 'Scoob! Holiday Haunt' in 2022. Unlike those movies, however, 'Coyote vs. Acme' was rescued by Ketchup Entertainment, which acquired the film in March 2025, for reportedly around $50 million. 'This is the panel that you were not supposed to see!' said moderator Paul Scheer at the top of the panel. 'This movie was not supposed to come out!' Scheer also rolled a brief clip from the film, in which Wyle recalls all of the Acme products that failed him in his pursuit of the Road Runner — intercut with clips from the classic Road Runner animated shorts — while Johnny Cash's rendition of 'Hurt' played underneath. After Forte came to the stage, the panel was interrupted briefly by a representative from the Acme Corporation (performed by actor P. J. Byrne, who also plays an Acme lawyer in the movie) who 'served' the entirety of Hall H cease and desist papers. 'You do not have permission to share information or footage from this anti-Acme film!' he screamed to a round chorus of boos. 'Please, leave the stage!' The extended bit — which climaxed with the Acme lawyer bringing a gang of unpaid interns on stage to (unsuccessfully) keep the film's trailer from debuting — was the panel's tongue-in-cheek way of acknowledging the shenanigans that had kept 'Coyote vs. Acme' from theaters without actually naming the corporation responsible. The Acme Corporation crashes the "Coyote vs. Acme" panel at #ComicCon — Variety (@Variety) July 26, 2025 Instead of leaving the stage, Forte and Scheer welcomed director Dave Green, voice actor Eric Bauza — who plays all of the Looney Tunes characters, including Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck and Porky Pig — and costar Martha Kelly to the stage. They played an extended clip from the film of Wyle's first day in court, which does not go well: His lawyer, Kevin Avery (Forte), hasn't stood inside a courtroom in years, and he's up against Acme's formidable attorney Buddy Crane (John Cena). The scene includes several playful nods to Looney Tunes characters, including a knitting mother hen on the jury and Playboy Penguin working as a courtroom sketch artist carving a bust of Buddy's chiseled face out of ice. The judge, played by Luis Guzmán, even has a cartoon gavel that squeaks. The panelists said to expect many more cameos like that in the film — including Bugs and Daffy, of course, but also more obscure ones, like the animated version of actor Peter Lorre, who showed up in some classic Looney Tunes shorts. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" Arts & Culture Hawass Foundation Launches 1st Course to Teach Ancient Egyptian Language

Detroit dines later than most cities
Earlier dinner reservations are trending, but many Detroit diners still prefer to eat after 8pm. The big picture: Detroit's on par with the national share of reservations made in the 5 o'clock hour, but we're making more dinner plans for 8 o'clock and later, Resy data shared with Axios shows. Nationally, dinner times have shifted earlier since the pre-pandemic years. By the numbers: More than 17% of Detroit Resy reservations were made between 8-10pm in 2024. The national figure in that time slot is less than 14%. Zoom out: Detroit is among a handful of big cities with more than 5% of reservations made in the 9 o'clock hour. Others include Miami (9.9%), Atlanta (5.2%) and Pittsburgh (5.5%). On the other end, few diners in Denver (1.6%) and Nashville (1.8%) plan to eat past 9. What they're saying: Eating earlier in the day supports your body's natural clock — boosting metabolism and improving sleep, experts say. If you have a later dinner, but eat the same amount, "that by itself leads to an increase in cravings, changes in appetite hormones and fewer calories burnt across the waking hours," Frank Scheer, Harvard Medical School professor and Medical Chronobiology Program director, tells Axios. Eating earlier can also lead to earlier bedtimes — which unlock even more health benefits. Even during simulated night shifts, eating during the day could benefit heart health, per a new study co-authored by Scheer. Studies show sleep loss slows your reaction time — even if you think you're OK. And research suggests that the cognitive and motor impairments from lack of sleep can be similar to — or even worse than — being drunk. The intrigue: Sleep-deprived people "lose the ability to judge how well they're doing," Karin Johnson, a sleep medicine specialist and professor of neurology at UMass Chan School of Medicine-Baystate, told Axios.

Firefighter & Emergency Medical Technician in Wisconsin rescues dog stuck under deck
MAPLE BLUFF, Wis. (WFRV) – A fire department intern in Wisconsin is being celebrated by her colleagues after ending her last shift with a rescue on Friday night. The Maple Bluff Fire Department posted on Facebook that firefighter/emergency medical technician Scheer was on her last shift when a report came in that a dog was stuck under a deck. New Indigenous-owned restaurant in Green Bay looks to provide affordably fast & fresh cuisine The department responded, and EMT Scheer was able to help the dog not only get out from under the deck but also talk and guide the trapped pup to safety. While it was her final shift as a department intern, it was certainly a good way to cap it off. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Carney grilled on US tariffs during his first question period in House of Commons
Prime Minister Mark Carney fielded questions about the trade war with the United States and his decision to delay the federal budget to the fall as he faced his first question period grilling in the House of Commons Wednesday. Conservative House leader Andrew Scheer welcomed Carney to the House before launching into a question about Canada's response to US tariffs. "This is where democracy lives, and this is where we provide rigorous scrutiny on every word he says and every dollar he spends," Scheer said. While Carney defended his government's response to US President Donald Trump 's tariffs, Scheer accused him of falling into "old Liberal habits of not being able to answer questions." Scheer pressed Carney on his decision not to table a budget until after the summer. In reply, the prime minister shot back that Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre 's 100-day plan during the election campaign also didn't include plans to table a budget — and referred to Poilievre as the "former" MP for Carleton. Poilievre was absent from the House of Commons Wednesday for the first time in two decades after failing to win re-election in his riding. He did not sit in the gallery to watch question period. Bruce Fanjoy, the new Liberal MP who handed Poilievre his first electoral defeat in more than two decades, was given a rousing standing ovation from his Liberal colleagues when he rose to deliver his first member's statement just before question period started. Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet also went after Carney over tariffs, pointing out in a question that Tuesday's throne speech made no mention of trade or tariffs. Carney made a small dig at Blanchet over his absence from the event; the Bloc leader had criticized Carney for inviting the King in the first place. "The throne speech, for those who were there," Carney quipped, drawing laughter, even from Blanchet. "We heard about transformation of the global trade system, which is a crisis for Canada." Carney took nine questions in both languages in his first question period. Carney has chosen to depart from his predecessor Justin Trudeau's practice of taking every question on Wednesdays. Trump, trade and Canada's sovereignty were also front and centre as the Liberal caucus met on Parliament Hill Wednesday morning. On Tuesday, hours after the King presented the speech from the throne in Ottawa — which included several lines asserting Canada's sovereignty — Trump said in a post on his Truth Social account that it would cost Canada $61 billion to join the planned "Golden Dome" missile defence program, or nothing at all if it joins the United States. "Oh my God, he's got to give that stuff up. Never going to happen," Liberal MP Darren Fisher said on his way into the Liberal caucus meeting Wednesday morning. "I take my lead from the people that I speak to in my community and across the country, and it's very clear that people want us to stand up for Canada's sovereignty," Justice Minister Sean Fraser told reporters. "Obviously, we want to partner with the United States where possible, but we do have to stand up for Canada's interest economically and … from the sovereignty point of view." Speaker Francis Scarpaleggia's office has confirmed that all 343 members of Parliament have now been sworn in. Roughly a third of those MPs, including Carney, were elected for the first time in April. Tom Kmiec, Conservative member of Parliament for Calgary Shepard, was named deputy Speaker and chair of committees of the whole on Wednesday. Liberal House leader Steven MacKinnon told reporters six consecutive days have been set aside for debate on the throne speech before the government begins to table legislation. He did not say how many bills could be tabled during this short session. This report by The Canadian Press was first published May 28, 2025.
