Sony Pictures is working with Sega Sammy Group division Marza Animation Planet to bring Sonic the Hedgehog to the big screen, according to a press release from Marza.
Sega's highly successful video game franchise is set to be adapted as a hybrid live-action/computer-animated movie, with a screenplay from Upright Citizens Brigade veterans Evan Susser and Van Robichaux in the works. Producer Neal Moritz, known for movies like the Fast and the Furious series and 21 Jump Street, is attached to the film, as is his company, Original Film.
According to Marza, the movie should "capture Sonic’s irreverent tone and spirit, reuniting him with some of the most revered and infamous characters of the franchise, including the evil Dr. Eggman."
No release date or official has been set for the movie.
And so the Sonic Cycle begins anew. :P: :
And I know only someone as old & set in my ways could still care about this, but it would be nice if they changed the NA name of the villain back to "Dr. Robotnick", where it belongs. Still, the benefit of a movie in this case is that the constraints of both CG & a 70-80 minute run time may actually force the studio to keep Sonic's ****ty friends out of the movie & focus on Sonic running really fast & being sarcastic, where he's most entertaining...
...or Sega could just dump a billion dollars into this movie to animate every unwanted Sonic friend, right down to Big the Cat, and the movie's a bloated mess just like the games. It's Sega. Flipping a coin will give you a more accurate estimation than logic.
If this doesn't star Jaleel White, it can screw off.

How do you feel about King Koopa changing to Bowser or Toadstool becoming peach then? Just curious because I hate those names and still use the ones I grew up with.
If this doesn't star Jaleel White, it can screw off.
And have him be obsessed with chili dogs.If this doesn't star Jaleel White, it can screw off.
Maybe they can work in the Sat AM theme song.
