...oh dear.

This looks diabolical. In fact the only saving grace appears to be Jim Carrey going back to his old school crazy in that role. But it's just not Sonic... it makes the Mario Bros film looks good!

That looks terrible!

After trailer outcry, Sonic the Hedgehog director tells fans to expect “changes”

 

On Thursday, 48 hours after the world finally saw what this November's Sonic The Hedgehog live-action movie would look like, its director took to Twitter with a surprise announcement: that's, uh, not what the live-action movie will look like.

 

"Thank you for the support," film director Jeff Fowler posted to Twitter on Thursday afternoon. "And the criticism. The message is loud and clear... you aren't happy with the design, and you want changes. It's going to happen."

 

After acknowledging the support of film studio Paramount and game company Sega, Fowler included a pretty telling hashtag: "#gottafixfast." It's not just a riff on the series' iconic "gotta go fast" slogan" but rather a stark admission that Fowler's vague suggestion for a "changed design" is running headlong into a six-month timeframe. The film is still scheduled for a 8 November 2019, release and will be Fowler's feature-length directorial debut.

Was ir just me, or did Sonic look like a bloke in a blue trackkie at times?

Personal taste issue, obviously, but I cannot stand Jim Carrey in most things. As for the CGI Sonic.... eeehhhhhhh *shudder*.

Sonic movie delayed to February 2020 so they can fix Sonic

 

The live-action Sonic the Hedgehog film is being delayed nearly three months to give the creative team more time to fix the CGI character after the widespread backlash to the original live-action design. It’ll now hit theaters on 14th February 2020.

 

Director Jeff Fowler announced the new date on Twitter, a few weeks after he confirmed that the team would be redesigning Sonic following the initial debut of the design in the first trailer. Fowler’s tweet also included the hashtag “#novfxartistswereharmedinthemakingofthismovie,” hopefully to assuage fears that the visual effects teams would not be put through the wringer trying to fix the character in time for the original November release.

Went to see this on Saturday with my kids and it's surprisingly good, certainly a lot better than I was expecting. Both my kids loved it and I see it's done very well over its first weekend - https://www.cnbc.com/2020/02/16/weekend-box-office-sonic-the-hedgehog-record-opening.html

The cinema was packed and it's nice to see that most had ignored the professional reviewers neigh-saying.
