Sonic the Hedgehog[b] is a 2020 action-adventure comedy film based on the video game series published by Sega. Directed by Jeff Fowler (in his feature directorial debut) and written by Pat Casey and Josh Miller, it stars Ben Schwartz as the voice of Sonic the Hedgehog, alongside James Marsden, Jim Carrey, Natasha Rothwell, Adam Pally, Lee Majdoub, Neal McDonough, and Tika Sumpter. The film follows Sonic (voiced by Schwartz), a blue anthropomorphic hedgehog who can run at supersonic speeds. He teams up with a town sheriff, Tom Wachowski (Marsden), to stop the mad scientist Dr. Robotnik (Carrey).

On a distant planet, Sonic, a young anthropomorphic blue hedgehog who can run at supersonic speed, is unexpectedly attacked by an echidna tribe. His guardian, an anthropomorphic owl named Longclaw, gives him a bag of rings that open portals to other planets. She uses one to send him to Earth while she stays behind to hold off the echidnas, leaving Sonic behind.

Development for a film adaptation of the Sonic the Hedgehog video games began in 1993 during production of DIC Entertainment's television show Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog. Michealene Risley, the newly appointed consumer products director who helped license Sonic for Adventures, negotiated with several Hollywood producers. Sega of America CEO Tom Kalinske was wary of damaging the brand, citing the commercial and critical failures of the Super Mario Bros. and Street Fighter films. Despite Kalinske's concerns, Sega was enthusiastic. In August 1994, Sega struck a development deal with MGM and Trilogy Entertainment Group, with Pen Densham as executive producer.[24]

In 2013, Sony Pictures Entertainment acquired the rights to produce and distribute a Sonic film.[29] On June 10, 2014, a live-action animated film was announced as a joint venture between Sony Pictures' Columbia Pictures and Marza Animation Planet, a Japan-based subsidiary of Sega Sammy Holdings which had produced CGI cutscenes for several Sonic games.[30] It would be produced by Neal H. Moritz by his Original Film banner alongside Takeshi Ito, Mie Onishi, and Toru Nakahara, and written by Evan Susser and Van Robichaux.[30] In February 2016, Sega CEO Hajime Satomi said the film was scheduled for 2018.[31] Blur Studio's Tim Miller and Jeff Fowler were hired in 2016 to develop it; Fowler would make his feature directorial debut, and Miller would serve as executive producer. Blur Studio previously produced cutscenes for the games Shadow the Hedgehog (2005), for which Fowler directed cutscenes, and Sonic the Hedgehog (2006).[32] Patrick Casey, Josh Miller, and Oren Uziel were writing the screenplay, while Casey and Miller wrote the story.[32][33]

A second trailer revealing the redesigned Sonic was released on November 12, 2019.[83] The trailer received far more positive responses, with many praising Sonic's new design. The tone and the humor also received positive reviews, as did the choice of song, J. J. Fad's "Supersonic" and Ramones' "Blitzkrieg Bop".[84] Naka said he felt the new design was "much more Sonic-like".[85] The second trailer received thousands of likes and the highest like-to-dislike ratio of any trailer on Google in the last three years.[86] The trailers have garnered a total of more than 500 million views worldwide.[63] As a promotional tie-in, the version of Sonic seen in the film was added as a playable character to the mobile games Sonic Dash and Sonic Forces.[87]

A modified version of the original design, named "Ugly Sonic", appears as a minor character in the 2022 film Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers, playing off the Internet's reaction to the first trailer. According to that film's director Akiva Schaffer, they had also used Moving Picture Company for their animation studio, and MPC was able to provide the original Sonic model for the film.[88] The character was voiced in the film by comedian Tim Robinson.[89]

Paramount confirmed that a sequel was in development on May 28, 2020. Fowler returned as director, while Casey and Josh Miller returned as writers. Neal H. Mortiz, Toby Ascher, and Toru Nakahara produced the sequel, having co-produced the first film alongside Takeshi Ito, while Tim Miller, Hajime Satomi, and Haruki Satomi returned as executive producers.[160] Filming took place between March 2021 and May 2021, under the working title Emerald Hill.[161] This was a reference to "Emerald Hill Zone", the first level of the game Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (1992);[162] in addition, the film's title announcement trailer features a remix of the level's music.[163]

In a new Sega interview (translated by Noisypixel's Ryuji), Sega's executive director and self-confessed "Sonic lover" Osamu Ohashi mentioned how he personally wants to see Sonic "catch" Mario and surpass him in terms of popularity. He didn't hold back, either - noting how he wants the blue blur's games and movies to be "bigger" than Mario, and for him to eventually have a USJ theme park attraction.

Yea, probably not going to happen. Sonic superstars was a good time, but I don't even think it cracked my top 10 for the year. Mario Wonder is easily my 2nd or 3rd favorite game this year. And I'd take just about every mario 2d platformer over any sonic game. And I LOVED sonic 2 and sonic and knuckles growing up in the 90s.

In the same news feed as this is the fact that some new sonic game is going to be an exclusive to some Apple service and the next sonic movie will probably have another whole advert in it about how you feel at home when you're in ..... I can't even remember the name of the place but I recall laughing seeing the product placement/adverts in the first sonic movie (olive garden I think it was)

Sega have good things with sonic mania and sonic frontiers, they should absolutely make sonic mania 2 and frontiers sequel, and make the 3D sonic next-gen exclusive so it will have next level graphics (put it on next-gen console/switch 2 only).

I just had the chance to chat to Fowler about his feature directorial debut, including the practical impact of the character re-design, what it was like shooting the film, and about working with VFX studios including MPC, Marza Animation Planet, Trixter, Blur Studio and Digital Domain on previs and final shots.

To get the word out, director Jeff Fowler got on an appropriately distanced phone call with SYFY WIRE to answer some lingering questions about his film that managed to please both Sonic videogame fans and non-gamer fans alike.

As the Committee awaits an update from the State Department on the investigation into sonic attacks on personnel working at the U.S. Embassy in Havana, Cuba, we write to urge the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to offer to take a leading role in investigating the medical effects of these incidents and their potential cause. ff782bc1db
