• 1:54
  Speaker 1: not want to distribute The Day the Earth Blew Up,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: which is in theaters now, so a group called Ketchup
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Entertainment bought the rights and put it in theaters. So
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: they make basically, they bought the movie from Warner Brothers
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: and they handle a distribution and take all the money.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Now back to Coyote versus Acme.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: Oh, the live action.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: It's a live action and animated film. Great premise where
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: the Coyote decides to sue Actme for all of their
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: defective products is based on an Esquire short story. It
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: was a very brilliant idea.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: They made the movie. Warner Brothers decided they weren't going
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: to release it.
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, big controversy about a year and a half, two
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: years ago.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Well now Ketchup Entertainment has announced they have completed the
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: deal for Coyote Versus Acme to be on the big screen.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: Oh so.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Gareth West, CEO of Ketchup Entertainment, said, we're thrilled to
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: have made a deal with Warner Brothers to bring the
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: film to audiences worldwide. Coyote Versus Acme perfect blend of
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: nostalgia and modern storytelling, So that means we're probably going
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: to be able to see it.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: Now here's hoping it's good.
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: Would I would bet this movie is going to make
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: more money than originally was just because of the hype.
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah around it.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Let me ask this, So if it's good and it
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: makes a lot of money, and this is the who
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: what Warner Brothers is going to lose their job over this?
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: I hope David Zaslav. Yeah, I hope it's him because.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: He's the one who's he's ruining all of their ip
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: He's just all he understands his reality shows that second
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: show to get second movie, excuse me, to get canned
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: after Catwoman.
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you're right, well.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: They completely deleted Batgirl. They didn't even bother to try
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: to sell it or anything like that. They just deleted
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: and took the tax right off.
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: Disgusting.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: But this is I think a fifty million dollar deal,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: and so Warner Brothers is getting their fifty mil and
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: then Ketchup will get whatever's left over from this. Now
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: that's the good newsons Land. The bad news is is
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: that the legendary Termite Terrace, as it's called Building one
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: thirty one, is that where animators work, where the animators
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: that did the original classic Looney Tunes worked, is being
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: torn down again. David's aslov He's got no respect for
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: history or anything like that. They're just gonna tear it down.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Building one thirty one being discarded despite its significance to
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: animation history. It is where Chuck Jones did his last
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: short from Hair to Eternity in Looney Tune's history, you
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: know the Bugs Bunny Show, for his freeling era of
• 4:41

• 5:20
  Speaker 3: Well, James Gunn wrote one of them.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and so what this is it's going to be
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: a reimagining of the whole thing live action. During their
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: final summer at Camp, old friends Shaggy and Daphne get
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: embroiled in a haunting mystery surrounding a lonely lost Great
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Dane puppy. Oh yeah, that may have been a witness

  Speaker 1: to a supernatural murder. So then they, together with the
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: pragmatic and scientific tounty Velma and the strange but ever
