Sony Pictures is helping to bring the blue blur to life in a hybrid live-action/CG movie.
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.
