John Cena has shared his thoughts on hisCoyote vs. Acme movie being scrapped.
“There’s a lot there. And everyone’s perspective is different. We don’t own the film. That’s the tough part about this business, you do have a sense of ownership because you invest heart and soul,” Cena toldTheWrap. “And [director] Dave Green and everybody involved, we made what we thought was a good movie… but at the end of the day it is the movie business. I understand and respect the business path of shelving the movie, I completely do.
“I would have liked to seen it given a chance. But I’m just one person,” he added. “If it was shelved, I would have to think that it was shelved for the right reasons and it was a good business decision. I think I would have tremendous regret and shame if I look back on the legacy of the movie and it was shelved for reasons other than that.
“So I have to believe in the process,” Cena finished. “I love the movie, my heart and soul is in there, but it’s somebody else’s project to do what they want with and they’ve chosen accordingly.”
