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?

Unless this movie has someone like Ryan Reynolds than no fourth wall or any other wall will be broken.

There is nothing redeeming about Sonic except the game play of the old titles. The cartoon was generic, and as fun as Adventure 1 and 2 were, the character personifications in that were a major distraction.

Sounds like someone has never read the archie comic book series for sonic.

My Main question is, why? I liked the deadpool movie it was cheesy, hyper violent, dumb and fun. I like some of the sonic games and certainly got some nostalgia for the old one Sega somehow didn't manage to shatter just yet. However what is the point of this? Who is this aimed at? A animated movie I'd understand, but live action hybrid? What will they do a cheesy dark humor version of Sonic X? ...that's what this is gonna be isn't it. Just another's rehash.

But some of the fields overlap. For example, people might think "too much edge", "too much Deadpool" and "this movie is going to suck" at the same time.

i dont trust any adaptation after the failure that was Ratchet and Clank Movie.

Doubt they'll release anything as bad as Super Mario Bros. 1993..

I guess it cannot be as bad as the complete obliteration of mankind.

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

The Sonic fanbase is never pleased so they're most definitely not the target audience. I still remember when some Sonic fanboys got all pissed because Sonic's eyes became green.

Because it's extra, lol.

I guess it cannot be as bad as the complete obliteration of mankind.

Or the complete obliteration of the entire Sonic Community, myself included.

watch this be Sonic X like we'll have Chris Thorndyke Chuck and even Eggman as live actors and Sonic and pals CG animation they should make the movie tie in with Sonic X (remember after the Metarex arc (end of the show) it was a cliffhanger so maybe expanding on that
