Casablanca is a 1942 American romantic drama film directed by Michael Curtiz, and starring Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, and Paul Henreid. Filmed and set during World War II, it focuses on an American expatriate (Bogart) who must choose between his love for a woman (Bergman) or helping her and her husband (Henreid), a Czech resistance leader, escape from the Vichy-controlled city of Casablanca to continue his fight against the Germans. The screenplay is based on Everybody Comes to Rick's, an unproduced stage play by Murray Burnett and Joan Alison. The supporting cast features Claude Rains, Conrad Veidt, Sydney Greenstreet, Peter Lorre, and Dooley Wilson. Warner Bros. story editor Irene Diamond convinced producer Hal B. Wallis to purchase the film rights to the play in January 1942. Brothers Julius and Philip G. Epstein were initially assigned to write the script. However, despite studio resistance, they left to work on Frank Capra's Why We Fight series early in 1942. Howard Koch was assigned to the screenplay until the Epsteins returned a month later. Principal photography began on May 25, 1942, ending on August 3; the film was shot entirely at Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank, California with the exception of one sequence at Van Nuys Airport in Van Nuys, Los Angeles. Although Casablanca was an A-list film with established stars and first-rate writers, no one involved with its production expected it to be anything other than one of the hundreds of ordinary pictures produced by Hollywood that year.[7] Casablanca was rushed into release to take advantage of the publicity from the Allied invasion of North Africa a few weeks earlier.[8] It had its world premiere on November 26, 1942, in New York City and was released nationally in the United States on January 23, 1943. The film was a solid if unspectacular success in its initial run. Exceeding expectations, Casablanca went on to win the Academy Award for Best Picture, while Curtiz was selected as Best Director and the Epsteins and Koch were honored for writing the Best Adapted Screenplay. Its reputation has gradually grown, to the point that its lead characters,[9][10] memorable lines,[11][12][13] and pervasive theme song[14][15] have all become iconic, and it consistently ranks near the top of lists of the greatest films in history. In 1989, the United States Library of Congress selected the film as one of the first for preservation in the National Film Registry.

Suggested by rowenjackson
1. Have Billy West reprise them role As Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd Instead of Recasting them with Jeff Bergman and Eric Bauza. 2. Lola Bunny retains her Old Design from the first film Instead of Desexualizing her Midriff. (Keep Zendaya as Lola Bunny) 3. Add Michael Jordan to the film like in the first film. 4. LeBron and Bugs reunite the Tunes across the Serververse, each of the worlds that the Tunes will be in of other Warner Bros stuff (such as Hanna Barbera, Animaniacs, Cartoon Network, Pokemon Anime and Sailor Moon) instead of Mad Max, Austin Powers, Rick and Morty, Game of Thrones, and that Wonder Woman comic. 5. Add Pepé Le Pew & Penelope appear in the sequel as one of the Toon Squad members. 6. Definitely have Marvin the Martian Join Tune Squad to complete. 7. Make Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson will Appears as Cameo instead of Michael B. Jordan. 8. Wile E. Coyote can Speak in the film. 9. No CGI Upgrades for the Tune Squad. 10. Have Daffy be a player instead of coach. (Make Daffy as Duck Dodgers instead of Super Duck) 11. Have Mel Brooks play Al-G Rythem Instead Of Don Cheadle 12. Add Cartoon Network Characters as Cameos for the film. 13. More Romantic Chemistry between Bugs and Lola. (Do not make Bugs Bunny sacrifice himself for the Tunes)
