Warner Bros. Picks Up ‘ACME Warehouse’ Pitch

THR says that Kevin and Dan Hageman sold the original pitch to WB, and that the idea was developed with producers Dan Lin and Roy Kell, with the idea of “[building] a franchise out of the Warner property.”
And this might never go anywhere, though since the deal was reportedly in the middle six figures I’d be surprised if it was buried completely. Could this be worked into a Bugs Bunny film? It’s easy to imagine a physical comedy based around the simple idea of the warehouse packed with dangerous rocket skates and Do-It Yourself Tornado Kits. It might not even have to involve any of the Looney Tunes characters, though given the option to do so, why not? The movie might even be funny, if done with enough imagination and irreverence.
