Sonic The Hedgehog Movie from Paramount
Paramount Pictures raced to nab the movie rights to Sonic the Hedgehog, the popular SEGA videogame franchise.
Neal H. Moritz, whose Original Film banner recently signed an upcoming first look deal with Paramount, will produce the project, which is coming to the studio after Sony Entertainment put it into turnaround. Much of the team that was developing it at Sony remains: in addition to Moritz, Deadpool director Tim Miller is executive producing, while his longtime Blur Studio collaborator Jeff Fowler will make his feature directorial debut on the film. Also executive producing is Toby Ascher, while Dmitri Johnson and Dan Jevons will serve as co-producers. Sonic the Hedgehog centers on Sonic and his friends, such as Tails and Knuckles, who run around collecting items and points as they attempt to foil the global domination plans of Doctor Eggman Robotnik. The game was first released by SEGA in 1991, with the character becoming one of the world’s biggest gaming icons. More than 360 million copies, including both packaged and digital games, have been sold on various platforms. The studio plans on making a movie that will blend live action and CGI animation as it brings Sonic to the big screen for the first time. Fowler previously wrote and directed the 2005 Academy Award-nominated best animated short, the animal-centric Gopher Broke, which Miller executive produced. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hea...amount-1044819

I hope the live action is done well like the Sonic Adventures games. If not it might be another dreadful live action Smurf 1 & 2 from Sony all over again..

Considering it's Paramount, God, maybe you're right... Eugh.
If it looks promising though I'd totally go see it.

Sony Pictures originally had the movie rights, I wonder what made them decide to hand it over to Paramount Pictures?

"Sonic the Hedgehog centers on Sonic and his friends, such as Tails and Knuckles, who run around collecting items and points" -Sounds like the greatest story ever told.

I half-way wonder if it'll some-what resemble looking like this flick.
Blue Core Studios tried their hand at making a live action / CG Sonic the Hedgehog movie a few years ago.

There’s been a lot of delays. Makes me think there’s no real time frame for being made. Just eventually

I have so many questions. Is that Doug Walker?... and why is Stefan Urkel's voice coming out of that blue pot scourer?

2. Because his actor Jaleel White voiced Sonic in all three of the Dic cartoons and he was awesome at it...though his voice has definitely changed since then and not for the better. |

I'm honestly surprised this might be the first ever Sonic movie. You'd think they'd have made a Sonic movie at some point in the 90s just like Mario, SF and MK got movies. Although maybe because the trend back then was for video game adaptations to be in live action the trigger was never pulled on Sonic since... you know. Unless they'd combine live action with animation like Space jam did.

Don't know who Ken Penders is? Just in case your not a big Sonic fan or somehow managed to avoid all his controversy, heres' the short version: Basically he was a hack writer for the Archie Sonic comics that latter sued Archie and Sega for the copyright of all the characters and concepts he created for the book...and some how won. Want to know why Knuckles can't wear his hat from the Sonic OVA? It's because Ken owns the concept of that idea even though the OVA was made years before he put it into the comics. I wish I was kidding, but I'm not. There's more to it, but that's enough for now. Back to "his" movie. It all started when Ben Hurst, head writer for the SatAm Sonic the Hedgehog series, tried contacting Sega with the possibility of creating a finale for the series. Here's what he had to say: Quote:

I like his Floating Island ident. Maybe he could have made the whole movie in Flash.
He's got a high tolerance for embarrassment, I'll give him that.
