Warner Bros. Is Building a Franchise in the LOONEY TUNES Acme Warehouse

Warner Bros. is intent on reestablishing the Looney Tunes brand in the marketplace.  These efforts include theatrical shorts, a show on Cartoon Network, a live-action/CGI Bugs Bunny movie, and a seemingly ill-advised Mike Myers-voiced Pepé Le Pew film.  The latest project is also the most tangential, in that borrows from the Looney Tunes universe without featuring any of the, you know, characters.

The untitled live-action/CGI hybrid revolves around the fictional Acme Corporation.  As you may recall, Acme Corp. produced a slew of shoddy products — anvils, bombs, rockets, and the like.  Looney Tunes is not the exclusive domain of the Acme brand name, but it is certainly the most prominent, notably in the Wile E. Coyote/Roadrunner shorts.  Hit the jump for more details on the project and a look at the Acme catalogue.
