Sonic the Hedgehog movie

Can you imagine how embarrassed they look talking to a lifeless prop in public?

Ben Schwartz (Parks and Recreation, DuckTales (2017)) will voice the title character in the movie.

Given his recent voice work, I'd say he's a fantastic choice, though it's disappointing that Roger Craig Smith wasn't called back.

x2 Don't actors do it all the time in anything with heavy CGI use?

That was a rhetorical question.

Was it a rhetorical question when you had question mark at the end

Considering this thread and its reaction to the movie, the question didn't come across as rhetorical.

Anyone notice that all of the popular characters Ben Schwartz has voiced have blue as a color in their looks?

Why is the prop so small? Sonic is usually taller than that isn't he?

His canon height is 100cm.

So.... how is a three foot hedgehog tall enough to allow his legs to reach the pedals?

Also, why would Sonic be driving a car in this case? This isn't a racing tournament and I'm sure whatever the plot is, there should be sense of urgency that he runs to the problem.

Maybe he loses his powers at some point in the film.

like someone steals his sneakers so he can't go fast

Actually, I remember the Archie comics saying Sonic's sneakers were friction resistant so that might work too.

It would make sense for Sonic to drive if there's a moment where Sonic loses his powers and the rings he's searching for helps him regain those powers.

Heck I wouldn't be surprised if the entire movie is about Sonic becoming fast again.

Larry King and Ben Schwartz talk about the Sonic movie. ...I think?

That moment where Schwartz is casually sipping coffee is already a meme in the Sonic fanbase.

Looks like the film is gonna have a campfire scene.

Per this unreliable yet interesting rumor, Dr. Eggman/Robotnik is getting completely redesigned, being a slim man wearing all-black. No goggles, no glasses, no mustache, and he has hair (the latter two was kinda a given).

Given that I haven't seen any images of Jim Carrey on set, and the fact that filming isn't set to wrap until September, I find this hard to believe.

UPDATE: Screenwriter Patrick Casey has denied the rumor.

Sonic bumped up for November 8, 2019 due to Top Gun sequel delay.

The farther away from a blockbuster Thanksgiving film, the better.

Okay you know how back in 2010 during an interview about Sonic Colors, Takashi Iizuka confirmed that Modern Sonic actually takes place across two worlds - a world populated by anthropomorphic animals (Sonic's World) and a human only world - and that the characters are frequently hopping from one world to another between games.

And then in 2017 Ian Flynn revealed that the IDW comics would also be using the Two Worlds thing ^note (which given that he was openly skeptical of the Two World's theory back when he was writing Archie Sonic makes it seem likely that the use of it in the IDW series was mandated by Sega), and that the games taking place across two worlds was actually established in the official Sonic Bible dating back to Sonic Adventure and that was why Sonic X used the concept.

Well given that it was confirmed that both Sega and Izuka have creative input into the movie, it shouldn't come as a surprise, but it looks like the film is gonna be using the Two Worlds thing as well...

Lots of fans seemed to have interpreted that as making Sonic an alien, and predictably are fuming over it.

Isn't any creature that's from another planet besides Earth considered an alien? Sonic has always been considered an alien, in Earth terms.

Some information regarding the Sonic movie when it was to be made by Sony, revealed from the film's former writer Van Robichaux:

And some info for the upcoming movie:

I like when adapters try to give Eggman both names, though out of the two I do prefer Eggman, so I am glad that Sega insisted on it. I would also like it if Sega occasionally referenced Dr. Eggman's real name in the games.

The answer is to have two villains with the different names

Never played the games but watched the cartoons where the villain was called Dr.Robotnik,Eggman sounds funnier though
