Sonic the Hedgehog Getting a Live-Action, CG Hybrid Film in 2018
Sonic is the latest video game character to have a confirmed film adaptation. In a recent interview with The Worldfolio, Sega president and CEO Hajime Satomi said this:
"Sega Sammy Group is currently planning with Sony Pictures to create a live-action and animation hybrid Sonic the Hedgehog movie scheduled for release in 2018. Like with this CG animation production, we would like to expand our business into other entertainment areas beyond what we are currently involved."
When Sony Pictures first announced plans for the feature film, production president Hannah Minghella said:
"There are limitless stories to tell with a character like Sonic the Hedgehog, and a built-in international fan base. Along with our wonderful creative partners at Marza, we’re looking to capture everything that generations of fans know and love about Sonic while also growing his audience wider than ever before."
