this could be something. But just like anyvideogamemoviebefore has shown us, it will suck.

 

[vayanui8]

are they trying to kill sonic or something, because sometimes it seriously seems like it.

 

[chavosaur]

My question is, will they be using the new sonic boom character designs? Because I can totally see the movie being a dark horror film focusing soley on Knuckles's new design ;O;

 

[gokujr1000]

This is probably going to work similarly to the Smurfs. Bad guy is live action, actors are live action and sonic & co. are CGI

 

[Hells Malice]

Sonic is a terrible videogame series, so I have hopes it might make a good movie.
It's gotta be good for something.

It probably is because it is fan made.
Ever heard of Super Mario Bros Z?
Best Mario X Sonic Collab ever.

If they make it with no sexual content then it will turn out ok at the worst.

this will be worse than super mario bros movie...

Sega: "Hey, I heard that people were slightly taking the Sonic series seriously. Let's put a stop to that."

And thus, this announcement was born.

 

[MarioFanatic64]

And yet they still won't make a CG Mario movie.

 

[Social_Outlaw]

What will they really get from this?. They already mess up Shadow the Hedgehog the game back in 05, If ANYTHING this movie to add on to the horrors through Shadow the Hedgehog history.

 

[The Catboy]

Fuck it, I am posting this

That's all I can think of when I hear "dark" and "edgy" when it comes down to the Sonic fandom

 

[lemonkeyface]

this is obviously april fool's. sega wouldn't make themselves look even worse. right?

 

[TripleSMoon]

What a stupid, terrible, awful, unforgivable idea.

And I'll probably see it on opening day.

Whether or not Sonic can "dark and gritty" is something myself and Guild have clashed about before. Now, personally, I think it can. Not to look too far for examples, the world presented in SatAM or Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie was ruined and anything but a happy place. It was still catered for the children, sure, but it wasn't all crayons, rainbows and ponies. If the content is handled right, this can work perfectly fine. If the script is crap and the whole thing is directed as a goofy and awkward attempt at being ultra-serious, it's going to fall flat on its face.

I agree with you, on this one. Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie is easily my favorite film/show adaptation of Sonic, ever. That said, i think there's a huge difference between pulling that off in a direct-to-video animated movie or TV show, and a big-budget live-action/CGI film, and I really don't think it'll work well in the latter.
