Whether you want it to exist or not, The Fast and the Furious producer's Sonic the Hedgehog film is currently in production. A few new details were divulged through an exclusive story from IGN, including a promotional poster, which can be seen above, though it intentionally obscures Sonic's face. Sonic, voiced by Ben Schwartz (most known for his roles in DuckTales and Parks and Recreation) will have an attitude resembling a "juvenile delinquent", as he winds up on Earth, and has to deal with the way his new home works, while partnering up with a police officer (James Marsden) in order to take on Jim Carrey as Dr. Robotnik. The movie's production team has explained that, as seen in the poster, they wish to give Sonic a more "realistic" look, giving him fur and less cartoon-y shoes.

During an interview, Tim Miller (Deadpool director) stated that he believes SEGA isn't pleased with the way Sonic's eyes will look, as there was difficulty in adapting the character's face for the setting of the movie. The entire film team is said to be working directly with SEGA in order to make sure the project represents the best of what Sonic the Hedgehog has to offer, and to create something that all fans can enjoy. Sonic The Hedgehog will premiere in theaters late next year, on November 8, 2019.

I thought that maybe it's just Sonic and the police man combined, but I see how the edges of the character are blue and furry. I'm worried...

This has potential to be a horror movie going by the poster

as if folks didn't learn from the Super Mario Brothers movie fiasco

That movie is my favorite and my childhood, you shut your damn mouth!

Sonic doesn't seem to be wearing any gloves at all, unless he's using some ridiculously thin latex gloves. Despite how much I try to look at his face and make it out, I can't help but imagine something similar to Alvin and the Chipmunks (the Nickelodeon version).

I'm sure at some point in the future, Sonic will be an actual human. They are just getting us ready for it.

"From the producer of The Fast and the Furious" How ironic.

lol Yeah, April 1st happened twice in 2018.

Looks too "80'sish" if that makes any sense. Remember that Sonic Mania animated cartoon? Make the movie in that art style. I personally think the Pokemon live action movie looks awful too.

As long as it doesn’t look like the Detective Pikachu movie.

probably worse, watch sega sue the guy if it's fucking terrible (which it will be by the looks of it).....wait Jim Carry as Dr. Eggman? OH THE HUMANITY let's hope Shadow isn't in it too this coke snorting director needs to just..... ugh

 

[Pluupy]

Personally, it reminds me of the Sonic Dreams headless Sonic dude.

 

[CannonFoddr]

Sonic...with fur!Lmao!

Wait ...Hang on.... am I mistaken here, but this is "Sonic the HEDGEHOG" and Hedgehogs don't have fur they have SPINES

 

[Jayro]

LOOKING REALLY PROMISING GUYS!!!!!

 

[Viri]

Wow, I did a bit more research, turns out Jim Carrey is going to play Robotnick. With how bad this Sonic looks, it sounds like this movie is going to be a train wreck. Def looking forward to seeing it now!
