Also has a great Roxette song for the soundtrack.

The funny thing is that Nintendo themselves were completely on board with making "darker" and more mature version of the Mario in the movie. So it wasn't a whim of the director or producer.

The source material argument is the weakest argument of all. I mean I know people just do it as an excuse to further criticize something but still.

Sonic Adventure, SA2, ‘06, Unleashed and Forces all take place on Earth with us on it (I think a couple others do too). They just never explain how or why Sonic and his friends came here.

So ignore the cartoons and comics if you want but several of the mainline games have already done it.

And even if the movie was the first that does not somehow make it wrong. It’d just be a different setting since he apparently left his planet for some reason.

I really hope the Planet he came from is called Mobius. Its something some of us old school Sonic fans would love.

I thought it was the weakest of the three seasons.

I think that had more to do with the film itself, while still pretty bad, was a product of it's time and the fact that Mario was still new as a franchise.

That's like the 20th time you said this. We get it.

As long as the new property is fun and entertaining, I'm all for it, whether it borrows from the source or not.

Well, if you are making a movie based on an existing property your movie should share some similarities with whatever you're adapting, remaking or making a sequel to. Otherwise you are more or less doing false advertising and might as well just make something original.

Of course, you don't have to do make it a 100 percent faithful(like the Psycho remake), but you should find a middle ground and create something that resembles the source material overall.

Well on principle, a remake/adaption/sequel will always be faithful to its source material to some extent, whether it be just the title and most basic concepts, or a shot for shot, because whoever is making said film found something worth adapting in the first place.

Now that they're re-animating Sonic, does anyone know how much the film would cost now?

It's currently budgeted at $90-million.

*TigerClaw* · 08-15-2019, 10:09 PM

Someone claims to have seen the movie at a Test Screening. This person describes the Movie as the 2014 TMNT Movie. But good. Take this with a grain of salt.

Sounds good if it’s true. It sounds like it.

Sonic is prominently the main character - good but odd he feels the others were not in their movies.

He gets sent away in the intro - maybe a flashback on his planet

An iconic SA2 scene but says from 1 - gonna assume 2 because part 1 was dedicated to water/chaos and what wasn’t is not necessarily “iconic”.

I can only think of a City Escape sequence. Everything else seems game specific and would not fit. Also because he mentions a highway scene which was brought up in another leak.

No toilet humor - good. Someone mentioned he floss dances before. That does not bother me but some will cherrypick it for complaining if it’s true.

*ZariusTwo* · 08-17-2019, 03:42 AM

The guy doesn't seem to be a Sonic authority, by his own admission he's just a casual fan who's only played a handful of games and seen Sonic X.

A grain of salt, indeed. This can be said about literally anything that sucked.

"Think of it like Ghost Rider. . . but good."

That'd be Agents of SHIELD

Yeah, that's ... really reassuring, TigerClaw.

Anyway, here's an alleged sneak peek from the Sonic Movie.

Spoiler:

And Also, the Sega of Europe president, Gary Dale, has stated this:

Sure, Mr. Dale. Suuuree ...

On a lighter note, it looks like Tyson Hesse ( of Sonic Mania fame ) may have helped out in redesigning Sonic.

*Papenbrook* · 10-05-2019, 08:53 PM

A new promotional poster has just been placed up ... in Russia.

Spoiler:

They're not even trying anymore, are they? Good grief.

*TurtleTitan97* · 10-14-2019, 09:11 PM

The redesign for Sonic has allegedly leaked online:

Spoiler:

Not perfect, but if this is actually legit it's still a major improvement over the first look.
