    The current assumption is it will be something like the recently redone Alvin & the chipmunks franchise, or the Smurfs franchise. Marza studios does great animations for Sonic (look up Sonic unleashed opening, seriously great) so the animation itself will probably be good. It's just gonna come down to how they do the story. Not holding my breath for anything other then terrible, unfortunately. Sonic is my favorite franchise and I'm disappointed in SEGA for following the current trend without considering something like the Archie-verse.

    The real reason Miller was kicked from Deadpool 2.

    I could almost picture the convo between Miller and Reynolds.

    RR: Tim. Don't do this. It's a blue fucking rat that runs fast. Come on, man.
    TM: YOU DON'T FUCKING GET ME, MAN. I MUST DO THIS MOVIE. IT'S WHERE MY ARTISTIC GENIUS BELONGS!
    RR: Fuck it. Get out.

    Guys I got the plot right here.

    Robotnik figures out a way to transport himself to the real world to subjugate people en masse, Sonic follows shortly after and teams up with some real world arcade rat kids to stop him. Subplot: Once his friends (now relegated to retarded comic relief rather than anything substantial, except maybe Sally who has to have a weird pseudo romance with Sonic) figure out he's missing, they all go on an epic quest to the real world to find Sonic and aid him in the fight. Sonic 'n friends save the day - with as little screen time by the CGI characters as possible because that shit's expensive and unrealistic-looking unless you're like, Disney - and they bid a tearful goodbye to the human children as they take Robotnik back to cartoon prison. At least, until it's implied in the post-credits scene that he escapes prison, thus leaving it open for a sequel.

    This will probably be a kids movie or something, i can't imagine they are able to turn this into anything serious.

    Follow-up;

    SEGA Holdings today announced that SEGA of America has reached a final agreement with Paramount Pictures to co-produce a Sonic the Hedgehog feature film, set for theatrical release beginning in the United States on November 15, 2019, then rolling out internationally to markets around the world.

    This move represents an important next-step in the expansion of the Sonic the Hedgehog IP, bringing the character to new audiences globally. As part of the IP strategy for Sonic the Hedgehog, SEGA Group has been working to expand this character beyond the video game market to become an entertainment franchise. Recently, Sonic has appeared as an animated character on television, consumer products, console and mobile games, and more.

    “I am very honored that our companies, SEGA and Marza, have this incredible opportunity to partner with Paramount Pictures for this production, which will bring Sonic to the big screen for the first time. Since he was first introduced to the world 26 years ago, Sonic has continued to grow in popularity as part of our core strategy to focus on video games. In addition to video games, this provides SEGA with a fantastic opportunity to share Sonic with everyone and we can't wait to reveal more to eager audiences in the future,” said SEGA Holdings Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Haruki Satomi.

    Paramount Pictures will work closely with SEGA of America to bring Sonic to the big screen, said Jim Gianopulos, Chairman and CEO, Paramount Pictures.

    “We are incredibly excited to work with SEGA to bring this iconic property and character to audiences around the world,” said Gianopulos. “We look forward to our partnership on this great venture.”

    Planned for a worldwide release showcasing both live-action and CG animation elements, the feature film will be the first time Sonic has been adapted for the big screen. Developing the project since its inception as a producer as well as a production house, Marza Animation Planet, owned by SEGA Group, will be joined by an assembly of high-profile talent.

    The film has signed on notable industry veterans including:

    • Producer Neal H. Moritz from Original Film Inc. (“Fast and Furious” series)

    • Director Jeff Fowler (Blur Studio, Academy Award nominee for 2005 Best Animated Short Film “Gopher Broke.”)

    • Executive producer Tim Miller (director of the Marvel/Fox feature “Deadpool” and owner of animation and CG production company Blur Studio)

    “I'm thrilled to be partnered with SEGA and to have such an incredible and supportive home for Sonic with Jim and Paramount,” said Moritz.

    Sonic the Hedgehog was first seen in 1991 on the SEGA Genesis. Since then, the character was inducted into the “World Video Game Hall of Fame” in 2016 at The Strong National Museum of Play in Rochester, New York. Most recently, the popular franchise has seen two new hit releases in 2017, Sonic Mania and Sonic Forces (PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, PC). Total sales of the series including both packaged and digital downloads count over 360 million units.
