Im not sure about the Live Action, but then again if its set on the Mobius from the Archie Comics I wont mind.
If its them coming to Our Earth, Ill give it a miss
Jim Carrey as Robotnik? This is going to be a trainwreck, isn't it?
Reminds me of the Super Mario movie from the 90ties.
There's never been a great video game movie and probably won't happen any time soon.

It'll be bad, or it'll suck. But I'm just guessing here.
What the hell is this? This can't actually be happening. Sonic the mudhog on the big screen? No way.

Yeah i love the Archie comics lol

Sonic live action... What did i just typed ???
https://twitter.com/ParamountUK/status/1072136807830224896
Oh, Live action, that's a new name that big movie studios like to use to try to shovel more cgi animation (that looks no more real than Shrek in the end) down our throat. Not that a Sonic film could be made in any other way.

Just when we thought crappy Sonic OCs would be an everyday background piece of DeviantArt, here comes more fuel for these abominations.
I really don't care that it's CGI. Not all CGI is bad. But they could've used a better style. The legs in the poster remind me of parody art people make to poke fun at the Sonic fandom.
That's just my input. I'm no fan of the Sonic games or franchise as a whole, but I did my time on DeviantArt, and I do not understand this fandom. At all. I've contemplated going back, but if "fan art" of this is going to be everywhere, there's no point in bothering, because why put effort into an original piece that contains meaning and creativity while the Sonic recolor OC gets a hundred favorites.
This is supposed to be a teaser poster, so the final design could be different.

I'm old enough to remember when Sega assembled this character from market research and I was dumb enough to even buy the first couple of games. To this day, it still baffles me that he had any staying power or why he was ever considered "cool."
Truly we live in a cursed timeline.

Lord Almighty.
So Walt went crazy and used chemistry to turn Jesse into a blue hedgehog?
Are any of you familiar with the epic saga of Christian Weston Chandler?
Don't even.
They should have just adapted something from the Archie comics run
After Sonic Mania put the series back on the map after years of missed opportunities, I really thought we might get something better than this. Honestly think anyone of us could have done a better job...
It's a paycheck movie.
Pure and simple.
Surprised the director/studio would do this.

Wow, won't save the most likely by the numbers script and the baffling decision to set it in the real world.
Granted this seems pretty major, but studios making changes to movies based on early reaction has been around forever.
Saw RJ Palmer's reply getting a lot of traction. That'd be nice if anything happened with that.
Good thing they came to this decision before bringing out a trailer or poster... :P

Just reshoot the last third of the movie at night, and film endings where Megaman, Mario, or Donkey Kong emerge from the Egg Mobile.
I get the feeling they were going for something more anatomically similar to Rocket Raccoon and lost sight of the fact that they don't have to.
If Wreck it Ralph can get it right, you think they'd be able to for Sonic's own movie

Indeed. The cartoony approach they're going for completely separates them from reality and at that point why bother making anatomical realism...?
So they're going to redesign the model and then...reshoot the whole movie as well? Judging by this trailer, there are plenty other problems.

Exactly. The film is likely to bomb so why waste money on it?
That's what i don't understand. The whole trailer is total crap, even the music choice.
I would simply keep the shitty model and market it as internet meme total shit need to see to bitch 'bout it movie (like they did with this trailer).Replacing the model adds extra costs and the chances that this movie will be shit is still there. Guess they'll go for "They listen to us fans!" target audience then :D
Should have had Deep Purple's Speed King lol

The design is definitely improved. I'll watch it to see if Carrey can reach Cage-like proportions of craziness if nothing else.
I still have no interest in the movie, but I'm fascinated by the whole process here. The fact that the studio actually spent a ton of money to redesign the title character and delay the release is staggering to me.

I saw it with my girlfriend. We both loved it. Jim Carrey chews scenery like he hasn't eaten in years, there are a lot of nostalgia references for the fans, and a lot of funny for everyone.
It currently has a higher audience score on RT than any of the Alien films. :laugh:

Quote from: Jeff Flower via ComicBook.com"For this first film, we really were just looking at the 1991 game and just see where it all started and just keep it simple," Fowler said. "Just really try to nail Sonic and Robotnik and just set up their rivalry because you don't ... I mean, I love ... There's a lot of great characters in Sonic universe, but it's the most important thing is just to get Sonic set up and just tell a little bit of an origin story with him, and just do it in a way that really makes everyone fall in love with him as a character and just be rooting for more. And then, if all that goes well, then we can kind of open it up and bring in some of these other characters that fans know and love. And yeah, I mean, no one's more excited than me to have that opportunity."

I don't understand one thing - why you always need to put some people drama in movies like this ? Just keep it inside Sonic's world and make it CGI cartoon if you want yor 3-dimensional hedgehog so badly
Keep Jim Carrey as Robotnik, though. Maybe even as live-action.
Quote from: ComicBookMore specifically, it would seem that the production is codenamed "Emerald Hill" with an in-house production company named Red Energy Films. The schedule, as it currently appears on the Creative BC Film Commission website, has the film in production from March 15, 2021 to May 10, 2021.

That means the Sonic live-action film series may go beyond the upcoming 3rd film (subject of course to how it does in the box office), as I am sure the producers and the studio will keep making them so long as there is demand for it, kinda like how the F&F films became a mega franchise, growing from that first film.
