Current Events > Here's the first poster of the Sonic live-action movie.

(+) Yeah! (+)

It's the proportions that make this look so terrible. Looks like a human child with a mascot head on.

I'm starting to think this whole thing may just have been a goofy plan to troll Chris-chan into another youtube meltdown, that just got badly out of hand.

This can't be real. Why would they make a hedgehog furry?

That post makes me want to find faith just to give me the satisfaction of believing you can go to some sort of hell for it.

Is it me or does he look like a little monkey? And seriously, look at his face. I bet its going to be absolutely terrifying.

The silhouette looks terrifying.

Are we sure this isnt actually a horror movie?

The people respomsible for this are bad people

This is not okay.

This is cancer.

This is so much cancer that I can feel the tumors growing on my back.

Those assholes couldn't even get the ring sound effect right.

That still looks better than Sonic 06.

There's no way to make Sonic look good. He's an ugly character to begin with and outside of making him look exactly like the video game in straight up cartoon form, there is no way to make him look different or better.

This is either going to be mindblowingly awesome or the disasterpiece of the century.

Why couldn't it just be animated?

It looks like a real abomination I'm not even sure if he wearing gloves.
---

seriously though isn't his spiky hair supposed to be spines? all his moves are kinda based on him becoming a buzzsaw because of his sharp hair...
---

Ok, I think I got it. This must be an origin story. Now we'll get to see how he loses the hair on his arms and gets the gloves (after his hands burn off in the fire and get replaced by robot hands)
---

Is that his penis?

seems like wishful thinking tbh

I doubt it, since it would actually make too much sense.

hmm but what does his cock look like??

He looks like a person in a mascot suit.

That's creepy.

I am....disturbed.

Those legs look beyond weird for some reason and I can't put a finger on it.
---

I think a Rocky and Bullwinkle movie sort of style would have probably worked out better for this concept. But I guess we will see in the trailer.

They gave him toned legs like a human runner because they thought that would be more realistic

What's going on with his eye? What's that little lump?

Should have been animated by Dreamworks or Pixar.

The production team behind the movie opted to go for a more realistic take on Sonic -- down to his updated new kicks -- than the more cartoony version we've seen in the past. The filmmakers consider Ted to be an appropriate analog for the upcoming Sonic movies integration of a CG character into a real-world setting.

The first thing youll likely notice about the character is that he has fur -- a bit of a no-brainer, considering what he is, but still a markedly different visual depiction of Sonic than what were used to. 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. Its part of what integrates him into the real world and makes him a real creature.

Then there are the shoes. "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," producer Neal Moritz (producer of the Fast and the Furious franchise) told IGN.

The most challenging part of Sonics updated design isnt revealed in this teaser: his eyes. The filmmakers struggled with how best to depict Sonics eyes because often hes only seen with one, and that wouldnt translate well to the live-action movie.

I dont think SEGA was entirely happy with the eye decision, but these sorts of things you go, Its going to look weird if we dont do this. But everything is a discussion, and thats kind of the goal, which is to only change whats necessary and stay true to the rest of it, said Miller. Hes not going to feel like a Pixar character would because I dont think thats the right aesthetic to make it feel like part of our world.

There's also the question of how Sonic The Hedgehog will represent the title character's speed -- one of his signature elements -- within the movie. Post-production began about a month ago, so the special effects are still being finalized, but director Jeff Fowler -- the movies resident Sonic superfan and internal defender of staying true to the character -- knew from the start exactly how he wanted to visually represent Sonic's super-fast abilities. In fact, that was part of the original pitch to studios. Fowler, Moritz and Miller all worked on a test video for what they envisioned Sonic would be to show to their studio partners, and it revealed their early concepts for how the speed would work. (Coincidentally, they had asked Schwartz to sub in as the voice of Sonic in that test video, and he did such a great job that they ended up casting him for the role.)

The first thing you need to do is put limits on it. If you can do anything, nothing is special. For me, its always about keeping it grounded and keeping it realistic, said Miller. We had some time to figure out the speed: What it looks like, what it feels like for a character to do that and how it relates to our world. It took a little trial and error, but thats animation in figuring out what the effect looks like and what it does to the rest of the world around it. The speed changes over time because he evolves, because he cant do everything at the beginning of the movie. Its finding the visual language and figuring out how its going to evolve over time.

This reads like "we tried our best to give him shoes that we could sell in real life as a marketing tie-in"

I'm going to laugh at everyone when it does f**in amazing.

This was a dumb concept from the beginning: a live-action Sonic movie would be much harder to pull off than even a live-action Mario movie. So they're trying to do it anyway, because that's smart! Very smart!
I think the ceiling for this IS basically Super Mario Bros. : a bizarre fever-dream that is vaguely interesting due to how deeply weird it is, but also unambiguously bad.

The director of Deadpool is behind this? Oh lol
---

Why. Why do people like Sonic. Why does this movie exist. Why does he have human musculature.

Because... he can really move. Hes got an attitude. Hes the fastest thing alive. The fastest thing alive!

This is getting worse every day. LOL

Always wondered what a dick pov was like from Sonic's angle

Please put this project out of its misery. It's not too late!

It's time to take Sonic behind the shed with a shotgun
