There’s good news today for furry fans: SEGA has signed a deal with Paramount to bring Sonic the Hedgehog to the silver screen. In a potentially petrifying press release for the rest of the planet, the Japanese publisher notes that the adaptation – which will mix live action with CG animation – is set to release in the United States on 15th November. A worldwide launch will follow thereafter.
“SEGA has been working to expand this character beyond the video game market to become an entertainment franchise,” the company noted. “Recently, Sonic has appeared as an animated character on television, consumer products, console and mobile games, and more.” You can also find the Blue Blur in various uncompromising positions on Tumblr, but those images are not safe for life.
Paramount will co-produce the movie alongside SEGA, with subsidiary Marza doing much of the heavy lifting. High profile names attached to the project include producer Neal H. Moritz of Fast & Furious fame, as well as executive producer Tim Miller (Deadpool). There’s no word on the plot just yet, but let’s hope Sonic doesn’t start kissing humans like in his infamous 2006 title.

ALL. IN.
Odds of this scoring higher than 5% on Rotten Tomatoes?
They could advertise it as "Howard the duck" for the current generation 😫
@get2sammyb you know it’s not gonna be that bad
But I can see it being
A: a disappointment of a Sonic movie
B: So bad... it’s funny
C: a Drunk man’s movie
@YummyHappyPills Why do you have to criticize everything that is posted written bere. You are like one of those people who just isn't happy with their life and has to criticize everything. We get you don't like the site but nothing is keeping you here so just please take it elsware or don't comment.
@YummyHappyPills at what point in this article did it dehumanize furries?
Like, yeah this'll be garbage. Just think about it as a concept - the best it can be is average. But let's not pretend it's not absolutely brilliant that it's happening.
@kyleforrester87 I'm hoping it will be classic camp. Like all those weird adaptions we had in the 80s and 90s, the live action He-Man and The Flintstones.
Trash movie incoming
@Cassetticons yeah, and if it isn't it'll be classic camp by 2050 at least
@YummyHappyPills No one is being dehumanised. What you search for on XHamster is your own business.
Can... we just all go back to playing video games & having fun?
@Derpie1 no because EA damnit!
"but let’s hope Sonic doesn’t start kissing humans like in his infamous 2006 title."
He probably won't. Now log out of @getsammyb account, Amy.
@get2sammyb Lmao, that one cracked me up though 😁
@YummyHappyPills
What I don't get is if @get2sammyb clearly hates Sonic, why does he keep publishing these articles? Have someone else write them or don't post them at all. It does feel like trolling sometimes.
Mixing Sonic with live action just isn't going to work.
They just can't leave it all CGI, nooo, gotta have those big name actors show their faces on screen to bring people in.
If they bring in Seth Rogan I'm calling this movie a complete bust before anything even happens.
At least it's not all live action like the old Mario movie. Although the Mario movie was a good laugh.
Edit: Site acted weird and posted my comment four times. Don't worry, I fixed it.
@YummyHappyPills I don't see anything wrong with what Sammy posted to be honest. He's just calling it as it is. Seriously I know you don't like Sammy but honesty stop trying to always cause a scene.
How bout dem gold rings?
@YummyHappyPills Treat others how you want to be treated. Funny you say that, I suggest you take your own advice.
@Tasuki @YummyHappyPills you guys are alright. Like, somewhere in the middle of your strange personalities exists perfection. And that's where you'll find me, sitting high atop a golden throne. Now make friends.
@get2sammyb or FurAffinity Or heck why not DevianArt I heard it's same as furAffinity now!
@YummyHappyPills Feel free to criticise the site and the article, but there was no need for the personal insult to Tasuki. Let's leave it there now, please.
Thank you.
@DLB3 I take responsibility. I told them NintendoLife is a warzone, no nice discussions allowed. Survival of the fittest.
Tim Miller? Huh.
Well trainwreck or not I think it'll be an interesting movie.
I'd love a Whitehead figure also working on the movie and watch as the lower budget movie get more praise and sales than the big block buster.
Ugh, I want to vomit looking at that picture. And they kissed, halleegha glad I didn’t play it more than I did. Watching the romance before kissing was awful enough. Gahhhh.
Game should be rated AO. 😛
Here’s to some thing good happening with the Sly Cooper move eventually though. It really has the potential.
@reanSxwarzwr7 it was still uncalled for though.
@YummyHappyPills
Yay, more movies about videogames, they always ruin it.
Oh man, this reminds me of the time I went to my first furry get together. I was so young and impressionable and still had all my skin and twice as many teeth at I do now. I think everyone knows how hot it gets in a fur suit, especially when you forget that you had a cigarette in mouth as you eye the delectable honey badger from across the barn. Before I knew it I was engulfed in flames! That'll teach me to buy a second hand wombat fursuit from a Sonoran swap meet out behind a gas station. But I didn't let that ruin my night.
Needless to say, I ended getting so wasted I woke up in out back of a veterinarian's office in a dumpster surrounded by bags of dog scrotums, and a tracking chip in my ear lobe. Man I used to party hard!
Last week was a trip.
@PS_Nation My favorite actor. 😀
@Octane Your training of renegade forum supersoldiers has to end now! Look at what you've done! LOOK AT IT!
There is a fundamental issue with video game movies, in that video game plots and characters are written in games to serve the gameplay in most instances. The fact you have a Blue hedgehog who runs fast, loves gold rings and bounces off the bonce of evil scientists for giggles means you have to work very very hard to make it a character people care about in a movie. THe same goes for Mario. I mean, in a game, having Assassins recall their genetic memory and enter it to do something with some mcguffin serves up a good game - in a film it was just silly.
@Shellcore I agree. We share the same community so it's all bleeding over. I can feel it already. The great war is upon us, as foretold by the great Console Warriors of the past.
Push Square vs Nintendo Life. Only one can survive.
Is this what you want @Octane?!
As for the movie...
It's a thing.
*Goes back to praying for Sonic Adventure 3
@Rudy_Manchego It's silly in Assassin's Creed too lol.
@Fight_Teza_Fight
@Octane You were meant to bring balance to the forums, not leave them in darkness!
@Shellcore Hush, it'll be all over soon.
@Octane Yeah but I mean, video game silly which you can accept if the gameplay is good. It's the excuse to go all stabby stabby (even if it is the most naff part of the game). On the big screen though with nothing else other than plot or characters, it's like sayeth whaaaaat?
@Shellcore Careful, @Octane has the high ground
The CGI part should be great as Marza animation are doing that and they have done some great CGI for sonic games already such as colours intro. Interested to see what happens with this film
