The plan is to make a hybrid CG-animated/live-action family film, exec produced by Tim Miller.

Miller and his longtime Blur Studio collaborator Jeff Fowler have been tapped to work on the project, on which Fowler would make his feature directorial debut.

 

[SynthFetish]

Hmmm, guess he had to go fast.

 

[Ogodei]

They're still running with that script that was basically The Smurfs but with Sonic, right?

Aside from the track record of such films, Sonic X basically already did that premise anyway, and did it quite well for what it was.

 

[SpaceWolf]

Can he feel time slipping down his spine?

 

[S1kkZ]

misleading thread title.

exec. producer means pretty much nothing (most of the time).

 

[Newlove]

I can see Sonic being quite a hit in the cinema if handled well.

 

[Killer Queen]

Revenge of the Reynolds
Darkest timeline indeed

 

[Armadilo]

misleading thread title.

dudes working on something else, kinda misleading but not really if you think about it

 

[The Flash]

But we already have Sonic 06. Is there really a need for a Sonic movie after that?

 

[S1kkZ]

your title implies that he switches to direct sonic. in reality, an exec producer is pretty hands-off in most projects and is used mostly for marketing.

 

[bearythebear]

Deadpool is basically the Sonic of superhero movies

Yo I'm down, hope it's good.

 

[Ray Down]

Only good things can come from this right?

Will it be better than Thor 2?

 

[GravityInsanity]

I don't know how I feel about this. Good? Bad?

 

[Kinyou]

A sonic movie? Sometimes i wonder who comes up with these ideas at Sony

 

[RareFantasy64]

Haha, yes! 👌🏻

 

[T.O.P]

Are they making a Sonic movie? what?

 

[kai3345]

can't wait for the amy-sonic pegging scene

 

[Ogodei]

I would totally watch a live-action/CG hybrid of Sonic Adventure 2, in a heartbeat.

 

[Armadilo]

Well Deadpool was the first time that he ever directed and basically his biggest accomplishment and that's what he's known for and that's how Hollywood works, I think ? But what do I know

 

[alr1ght]

And Sony wonders why their movie division is in the shitter.

 

[brau]

I didn't even know there was a movie in the works.

 

[Astral Dog]

Sonic the Hedgehog?

 

[sanstesy]

 

[Glass Rebel]

can't be serious mane

 

[HotHamBoy]

Deadpool was straight-garbage.

He is where he belongs.

 

[DorkLord54]

If only it was an adaptation of Tails Gets Trolled.

 

[GravityInsanity]

Honest Trailer is going to have a field day with this.

 

[Rexatality]

can't wait for the amy-sonic pegging scene

Uh.... am I missing something?

 

[shingi70]

A Sonic movie that's going to mix CG and live action will be a horror show.

 

[BlueTsunami]

Tim Miller: So now that we've passed on a hundred million dollar budding franchise, what else do we have on the plate?

Assistant: Uhhh

*Nervously flips through paperwork*

Assistant: Sonic...

*looks up slowly*

...the Hedgehog.

Tim Miller:

 

[Brianimaniac]

Uh.... am I missing something?

Yeah, Deadpool.

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

A Sonic movie could be legit good if made ala the SATAM cartoon of old.

A Sonic movie that is a blend of live action is insta-garbage.

 

[Spinluck]

A Sonic movie should be completely animated.

This will be a disaster from the studio that couldn't even handle Spider-Man so they rented him to Disney.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

A Sonic movie that's going to mix CG and live action will be a horror show.

Sounds to me it's exactly what the fans of that franchise want, expect and deserve.

 

[Dishwalla]

Deadpool was straight-garbage.

lolno. I don't even like superhero movies and this was pretty good.

 

[GravityInsanity]

They were doing just fine until Spider-Man 3.

 

[Reversed]

If only it was an adaptation of Tails Gets Trolled.

Alternatively the sequel for Roger Rabbit. 🤔

 

[Galactic Specter]

hybrid CG-animated/live-action

I look forward to Ryan Reynolds as Sonic though

 

[Rexatality]

Yeah, Deadpool.

I know that. But I never heard of a pegging scene...

My country's cinemas removed those scenes probably, so this is the first time I've heard of it >_>

 

[Shaanyboi]

I mean... that sucks, but atleast the Sonic movie might have some fun action then...?

Apparently so

 

[Pie and Beans]

Don't attach your name to this, Tim. That's a straight "career fucked" downward slope.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

no one asked for this

I look forward to Ryan Reynolds as Sonic though

hmmm

I can actually see that. He would make a good sonic

 

[BronsonLee]

Lol hes not even directing

This don't mean shit

 

[oreomunsta]

That's a let down, but he has to follow his rainbow

Sony is still going for the Smurfs formula, huh?

 

[Mr. Poolman]

Soon on live action

 

[John Kowalski]

The start of every human accomplishment.
