Sonic the Hedgehog Live-Action Film Poster Released

Sonic the Hedgehog Live-Action Film Poster Released - News

The poster for the upcoming Live-Action Sonic the Hedgehog film has been released by IGN. The poster shows a silhouette of the hero in a more realistic way than what has been seen in the games. 

"That was always Stage 1 of adapting it to what the real world is and what a real animal would be like," said executive producer Tim Miller on giving Sonic fur. "It would be weird and it would feel like he was running around nude if he was some sort of otter-like thing. It was always, for us, fur, and we never considered anything different. It’s part of what integrates him into the real world and makes him a real creature.

Producer Neal Moritz added, "We looked at every different variation of what shoes he's worn and we're trying to pay homage to that and also make it current and present day in what we think a Sonic of today would wear."

Sonic the Hedgehog will release in theaters in the US on November 8, 2019, in Australia on November 28, 2019 and in the UK on December 26, 2019.

Who is this "David" and why does he think that he knows I'm hard. 'Cause I'm most certainly not.

That looks laughably terrible. It's like a poorly-made fan poster.

I actually really want this to be good. Can it even be possible? Who knows...I DO like, however, what they did with the logo.

I really don't see where all the complaints are coming from. All they did different was ads definition to Sonics arms and legs, which he always had in a human like nature. They toned down the cartoon hands to give insight to the movies direction. Actual people portrayed Mario and Luigi. These movies aren't meant to be blockbusters, more or less a producers own depiction of a well known character. It happens to all of them. Why not Sonic? You know, the guy who's desperately in need of a makeover?

That character model would have worked beautifully in a game.
