As reported earlier, Sega has been working on a 'live-action and animation hybrid' movie featuring the Blue Blur. In an exclusive article by The Hollywood Reporter, it has been revealed that Deadpool director Tim Miller will act as the executive producer while Jeff Fowler (director and co-founder of trailer specialists Blur Studio) will make his debut as director for the movie. Joining them is Neal H. Moritz (from the Fast and Furious franchise), who is producing the adaptation, while the script writing will be handled by Patrick Casey and Josh Miller, who created Golan the Insatiable.

Talking to The Hollywood Reporter, Tim Miller added:“Jeff is an incredible director with strong story instincts. The world of Sonic presents the perfect opportunity for him to leverage his experience in animation to bring new dimension to this iconic character.”

So there we have it! Some big shots working on the world's most famous hedgehog 'live-action and animation hybrid' movie. Will they be able to finally break the curse of mediocre video game movie adaptation?

if there are something I hate in sonic is how he became " deadpollish" in the localziation ... this don't match the " cool nice guy" he is, look more like an "a**hole that like to joke on wrong place and time" ... I mean this work nice in deadpool, with spiderman too but forcing that in sonic made him very generic :/ detsroid what the character actually was.

Being directed by the guy I think it shows that is really how they really see the character like this... well I don't have fainth on any western adaptation of originally japanese media anymore :/ if even with localziation they don't do it good, who tells about creating something there (oh wait, sonic boom ¬¬)

As long as it's entertaining and Sonic-ish I'm down with it. I still remember Deadpool's "is it sexist to hit or is it sexist not to hit?" lol.

I was rather disenchanted with Deadpool, I'm sure Sonic is what will fix things.

My sarcasm sense is tingling

My sarcasm sense is tingling

I've been found out!

In all seriousness, how hasn't this "Sonic" movie happened sooner?

 

[BurningDesire]

Well this should be interesting. I presume this is why he stepped away from deadpool 2?

 

[RustInPeace]

Big shots? I haven't seen Deadpool yet, the other names are not familiar to me at all. So the only reason I'd watch the movie is because I love Sonic. For a movie like that to sell, they'd have to get some named talent to rope in the non-Sonic fans, who would probably be the majority of moviegoers.

 

[Öhr]

well, i hated the deadpool movie. and i dont enjoy playing sonic games. soooo nothing of value was lost.

 

[Ethevion]

Gonna keep my expectations pretty low for this

 

[VinsCool]

The sonic movie is just because they know they will sell to the cringy fanbase.

 

[The Catboy]

I am not sure how to feel about this.
On one hand, I loved the Deadpool movie. On the other hand, video game movies suck

 

[Deleted User]

I hope its like Shadow the Hedgehog in movie form, I want to see post-apocalypse chili dogs

Where's that DAMN chilli dog!?

 

[smileyhead]

live-action and animation hybrid

Jesus fucking Christ, please DO NOT do live-action!
Deadpool was fine, because it meant to be in the real world, but not fucking Sonic!

This isn't gonna end well.

 

[LuxerWap]

I'm hyped. Yet, I'm worried. Don't want to go into further details but...

Flashbacks of very bad video game movies...

 

[ov3rkill]

I'd like it if the live action component of this film consisted of Sonic being played by an actual hedgehog.

It's probably about a guy on a midlife crisis... that or drugs. haha

 

[petethepug]

Ugh, it's always the live action cartoons, or movies that never really do to well.

Hopefully it's not to bad. I'm thinking it may end up like that Mario movie the first werid live action movie
