Blue streak, Speeds by... SONIC THE HEDGEHOG!!! Posts: 5,101 Group: C Rank Legend Member #9,446 Joined: October 22, 2008	OLD. Spoiler: click to toggle "It’s recently been confirmed that a movie adaptation of SONIC THE HEDGEHOG is in development at Columbia Pictures, with the studio going for a dark, edgy version skewed towards older audiences! NOT ONLY this, but the studio plans to make it a mix of live-action and animation, allowing the much loved character to really meld with reality." http://www.tssznews.com/2014/03/21/report-columbia-pictures-to-adapt-sonic-film/ A movie about our true blue hero seems to be possibly in the works. While TSSZ is treating this as a rumor thusfar, it seems that, if it does happen: A.) It will be a darker version of sonic (possibly SA2 Dark) B.) Animation mixed with live action C.) Aimed to the older fans. They've got a short list of 4 writers and they've all done good movies, ex: Zombie land, toy story 2, Wreck it Ralph, etc. and while I hope this is kind of drew, I'd rather there NOT be live action. Thoughts? http://www.screwattack.com/news/sony-pictures-bringing-sonic-hedgehog-big-screen "At this year’s E3, Sony showed off a brand new trailer for the forthcoming Ratchet and Clank movie, yet in terms of big screen announcements, the company didn’t end there, as a new Sonic the Hedgehog movie is also on its way, blending together live-action video and CGI. As described by Sony Pictures’ head of production, Hannah Minghella, “There are limitless stories to tell with a character like Sonic the Hedgehog, and a built-in international fan base." Film is confirmed, Sony is producing it, live action mixed with CG, discuss thoughts. Edited by SXR123, Jun 12 2014, 08:55 AM.

I object to your claims Posts: 15,025 Group: =SB= Queens Member #9,640 Joined: January 9, 2009 Gender: Female Country: United States of America 3DS Friend Code: 1891-1489-0768 Nintendo ID: Agent_Blaire Game Currently Playing: Yoshi's Island	Hmm... Tssz is not giving a source for this thing. Considering their track record, how am I supposed to take this news seriously if there's not an original source from either SEGA or even Columbia Pictures themselves? Also; Quote: Samuel Dickerman, Hannah Minghella, and Foster Driver are overseeing the project as executives at Columbia. Yeah-no, I really don't see this as real now. Why? Because Samuel Dickerman no longer works at Columbia Studios; http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/disney-hires-sony-exec-sam-681573 See? Therefore, I'm calling bullshit on this rumor right now.

SEGA's spent a lot of effort rebuilding the brand; it would be weird for them to so quickly try to delve back into dark stories, especially after how Lost World fared. If there's going to be a film, I'm positive it will be based around Boom.

My reasoning on this is because with the recent tone of the games and the whole Boom thing being clearly for younger audiences, I mean maybe they would just try to do one last hoorah for the loyal older audiences who actually appreciated the darker tone they adopted for some previous works (such as myself, although I realize there aren't many of us). That's just my thinking on it. If it actually happened, that is.

People who've been playing for nearly 20+ years. Yes but there was nothing dark or that nonsense in the older games and thus older audiences, being Saturday morning cartoons like the style of the series is now. And yeah, Blaire pretty much debunked this.

Yes but there was nothing dark or that nonsense in the older games and thus older audiences, being Saturday morning cartoons like the style of the series is now. Pretty much. I mean, I wouldn't mind a story with a darker tone. I mean, Pokemon has quite a few dark undertones, so why not Sonic? But, I would want to watch a Sonic movie - SA2, for instance, had a dark story, but at the same time it, how do I put this, held itself back enough so any dark elements and undertones weren't too unfitting for the series. When I play that game, I still feel like I'm playing a Sonic game, just one that's darker than most entries in the series. I'd be fine if this hypothetical movie was like that.

Angel Island Act 1 Posts: 46 Group: E+ Rank Adventurer Member #13,705 Joined: November 9, 2013 Gender: Male Country: United States of America	I'm pretty excited for this. I'm tired of the lighthearted crap we've been getting recently, and it's a relief that the series may return to the tone that works with it best. I am a bit concerned about the movie being partly live-action, though. It should be all CGI and animated by Marza Animation Planet, the company responsible for the beautifully detailed animation in Sonic Unleashed's opening.

I mean I wouldn't of been surprised, Sly and Ratchet are both getting movies so if Sonic was going to get one I wouldn't of been surprised.
