Last seen in a short cameo for the animated film Wreck-It Ralph, Sony Pictures announced at E3 (a popular gaming expo) that SEGA's popular video game speedster Sonic the Hedgehog is officially getting his own live-action/computer generated film. Sony Pictures will collaborate with Marza Animated Planet to distribute Sonic's feature film debut. Producer Neal Moritz will be in charge of production for Original Films, and first-time feature film writers Evan Susser and Van Robichaux will co-write the script.
In a press release about the upcoming adaptation, Sony Pictures stated that "The film will look to 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." I hope so, as long as they stay true to the spirit of the original character(s) I feel like it should turn out fine. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Sonic the Hedgehog doesn't turn into a flop like The Smurfs. Sonic has been featured in several television shows over the years since his inception back in 1991, so it shouldn't be too difficult to bring him and his friends to the big screen.
As of right now, there is no release date or casting news for Sonic the Hedgehog.
