“Coyote vs. Acme” screenwriter Samy Burch is telling IndieWire that conversations are “ongoing” about whether or not the film will see the light of day. She adds that the $70 million film is still being screened in some places with the hopes of a studio buying the shelved Warner Bros film. IndieWire confirms that Netflix and Paramount each submitted offers to purchase “Coyote vs. Acme” from the studio for $30 million, less than half of the budget of the movie. Warners turned down both offers.
“Hope,” Na’s first film in ten years — his last one being the exemplary “The Wailing” —is a gloriously messy, blood-soaked sci-fi epic that may become a cult classic despite—or because of—its polarizing nature.
