First "Sonic the Hedgehog" Poster
10 Dec 2018 By Tommy Pihl (Editor-in-Chief)
We have the first look at the motion poster for Jim Carrey's upcoming live-action movie "Sonic the Hedgehog", uploaded exclusively on IGN. It offers a tease at the iconic blue hedgehog's new look.
IGN interviewed Sonic executive producer Tim Miller (Deadpool) to get a get more clarity on what changes were made to the visual design of the character. For one, he has fur:
�That was always Stage 1 of adapting it to what the real world is and what a real animal would be like,� executive producer Tim Miller (director of Deadpool) said of 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.�
Additionally, Miller says they had to adjust Sonic�s eyes so as to not make him look strange, a decision he admits SEGA may still not be super happy about:
�I think SEGA was entirely happy with the eye decision, but these sorts of things you go, �It�s going to look weird if we don�t do this.� But everything is a discussion, and that�s kind of the goal, which is to only change what�s necessary and stay true to the rest of it,� said Miller. �He�s not going to feel like a Pixar character would because I don�t think that�s the right aesthetic to make it feel like part of our world.�
