According to the Hollywood Reporter, WARNER BROTHERS has tasked Jenny Slate with writing the script for a new live-action/cgi film that would reboot the LOONEY TUNES.

This would be the third attempt, along with the films LOONEY TUNES: BACK IN ACTION and SPACE JAM, at such a project since 1996.

Why WB is so intent on mixing the LOONEY TUNES characters with live-action actors instead of simply making a new animated film for them to star in, is unknown.

One of the producers on the reboot is Seth Grahame-Smith, writer of recent films DARK SHADOWS and ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE KILLER.


Brendan Fraser and Jenna Elfman headlined the previous attempt at bringing back Bugs Bunny and pals, LOONEY TUNES: BACK IN ACTION (directed by Joe Dante).

THR (the original source) says that this movie will be a live action/CGI hybrid.

Thanks for pointing out the original source, PaulRom. It was in the weeks best stories at ROTTEN TOMATOES and didn't link to a source, so I thought RT themselves were the source. I have corrected the article to credit THR for the story :)!
