The Deadpool and Despicable Me Crews Are In Charge Of The Sonic The Hedgehog Film!

First Pikachu gets the big screen treatment, then Mario decided to take another crack at theaters, and now it's Sonic The Hedgehog's turn. 

Sonic had a pretty popular cartoon in the nineties, but he's never gotten all the way to the big leagues, until now. As reported by Variety, the movie will be a mix of live-action and CGI, just like the upcoming Pikachu flick, starring Ryan Reynolds. Speaking of Ryan Reynolds, his partners in crime from Deadpool are heavily involved, with director Tim Miller serving as executive producer, and Miller's collaborator, Jeff Fowler, helming the film (his first full-length feature). In other good news, Illumination studios,the people behind Despicable Me and Minions will be bringing Sonic to life, and those guys know how to CGI like mad. 

Other details are pretty scarce, and the synopsis of the film could easily be the plot of any Sonic game: “Sonic and his friends team up to beat the evil Dr Eggman.”


I'm drowning in details over here.

Casting is underway, and i'll keep you appraised of any new details that crop up, Sonic is expected to arrive in theaters November of 2019.
