[up]I know you were joking, but I've thought of giving having Eggman Nega simply referred to as Eggman while the main Eggman is called Robotnik.

To note, in the games the two worlds thing refers to Classic vs Modern Sonic’s worlds. If they’re doing “Sonic as a dimensional alien in a human world,” that’s still distinct to the way the games started doing it and more in line with Sonic X.

[up]The 2010 interview with Sonic Team head Takashi Iizuka, and this year's interview with Archie and IDW comics writer Ian Flynn regarding the use of it in the then upcoming IDW comic adaptation, say otherwise:

From the Iizuka interview

We have two different worlds for Sonic games – one is human, and one is set on the non-human side. Sonic Colours is set on the non-human side.

From the Ian Flynn interview:

  • Q: Can we at least have Humans and "Mobians" on both worlds maybe find some way to infer that they are two closely connected worlds? I really enjoyed the one inclusive world we had post reboot, and I hate to see the idea get ripped apart because of canon

  • A: There was some "fluff", we'll say, over confirming that the two-worlds thing from the games will be the canon of the comics. I think folks are paying too much attention to the nitty-gritty because the two-worlds thing has been around since Sonic Adventure; we just didn't know it. It wasn't confirmed until that one Q&A session, what, 5 years ago or so, and everyone was like "What?" That is why Sonic X had two worlds, because it was based off the Sonic canon. Really it hasn't undermined any of the game stories at this point. The story of Tikal and Chaos, really doesn't matter where it is. It is a strong enough story on its own right. Shadow, and his whole deal, it doesn't matter that it happens in the Human World. His story is fairly stand alone. Ya, it raises some big questions. I'm not denying that. It also isn't the brick through the window kind of distraction, that I think a lot of people think its going to be. So, I mean, obviously Sonic and his friends can cross over between the worlds no problem in the games.

As I just said, the games rather explicitly don’t do that, so that interpretation still doesn’t really apply to them.

There’s been more word than just that one Iizuka interview about this, also, and it’s hardly the highest authority on how Sonic Team is implementing it, especially since it was given before Generations in the first place (which is where Sonic Team started cementing their approach to Sonic’s current universe, until really making a case out of it after Lost World).

Ian Flynn may be applying it in that way to the comics (it remains to be seen exactly how it’s being implemented, but it’s worth noting that the Sonic comics had been using something similar to that for decades anyway, so his choosing to do it that way isn’t much different from what he’s used to), but for the games we’ve been since informed repeatedly that the point of separation is Classic Sonic vs Modern Sonic. This is the reasoning behind their usage in Forces, vs their usage in Generations.

For all the crap Paramount has put out lately (mostly Transformers movies and films that most people forget about), I'm glad that the film was dropped by Sony. Listening to Robichaux talk about how Sony wanted to change everything and treated the filmmakers like garbage, the film would've been a guaranteed disaster there.

The movie will be nothing like the Smurfs or Alvin and the Chipmunks, according to Patrick.

I know that isn't concrete evidence that the movie will be good, but it's still music to my ears.

Hopefully, the best interpretation of that quote is that the Sonic movie won't be a dreaded human focused adaptation, because those hardly NEVER turn out well critically. (I was almost thinking of the Paddington movies, but those don't count as HFAs, do they?)

Bumping this thread because sneaky folks on Twitter found on-set shots of Jim Carrey as Dr. Eggman...

...who's decidedly looking rather unlike the bad doctor.

I'm betting that clothing is actually a disguise and CGI might be brought into the mix.

I figure they're doing a Kintobor thing. Maybe not literally, but in the sense that Eggman is a very different person before something twists him into the person we know and hate.

Looks like Paramount have revealed the teaser for the movie at a Comic Con event in Brazil, and Brazilian fans have been reacting to it.

And we have our first poster for the film, as well as an interview with the filmmakers regarding Sonic's design.

[up] ...I'm honestly not feeling this movie version of Sonic at the moment. There's something really off-putting about Sonic having humanlike proportions and I'm saying this as a guy who's been loving Sonic since the late 90's. sad

You know, with this horrifying new descent into the depths of the Uncanny Valley, I can't help but wonder if perhaps we've all been a bit too harsh with '06 regarding its problems with said valley.

I really, really hope this movie stands in the same echelon as Super Mario Bros. If it's bad I want it to be entertainingly and uniquely bad, not generic bad.

Yeeeeah, not really feeling how Sonic looks right now. Maybe he'll look better in more lighting or something, but right now, that just does not look like a good design for him. He looks like a human with a Sonic head grafted onto his shoulders.

So are any of the other Sonic characters yet confirmed to be in the movie besides just Sonic?
