Well, it looks like we’re getting the movie we’ve all wanted for so long… the Sonic The Hedgehog movie.
Yup.
Neal H. Moritz and Deadpool director Tim Miller are teaming to produce the movie based on the SEGA video game character.
Neal H. Moritz, whose Original Film banner recently signed an upcoming first look deal with Paramount, will produce the project, which is coming to the studio after Sony Entertainment put it into turnaround.
Blur Studio collaborator Jeff Fowler will cut his first teeth as directorial on the movie.
Sonic the Hedgehog centers on Sonic and his friends, such as Tails and Knuckles, who run around collecting items and points as they attempt to foil the global domination plans of Doctor Eggman Robotnik. The game was first released by SEGA in 1991, with the character becoming one of the world’s biggest gaming icons. More than 360 million copies, including both packaged and digital games, have been sold on various platforms.
As we reported last November, the movie from Paramount will blend live-action and CGI animation .
Is the world in need of a Sonic movie? Let us know…
