Warner Bros. is developing a brand new live-action/CGI hybrid movie based on the popular Looney Tunes animated character Pepe Le Pew, with Mike Myers voicing the amorous skunk, according to Vulture.The character was created in 1945 - a skunk perpetually looking for love in pursuit of a cat dubbed Penelope Pussycat, a black cat with a white stripe accidentally painted down her back - appearing in a variety of short films for Warner Bros., including the Chuck Jones short For Scent-Imental Reasons, which won the 1949 Oscar for Best Animated Short. It was said that the studio is looking to relaunch several of their classic animated characters such as Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck and Porky Pig, which still bring in more than $1 billion annually in licensing revenue.
Little was known about the story for this new project, although it was said that the Pepe Le Pew and Penelope Pussycat characters would be CGI, while the rest of the movie will be shot in live-action.
