Sonic the Hedgehog is the name of the upcoming live-action movie adaptation reimagining of Sonic the Hedgehog, set to be released on 8 November 2019.
Response
Soon after the first trailer was released on 30 April 2019, Chris expressed discontent with the movie, particularly criticizing the design of Dr. Eggman (played by Jim Carrey). Chris is also not alone in his possible displeasure with Sonic’s design in the movie, as the trailer received widespread backlash for his creepy design (to the point where the film producers announced they would redesign him again before its release).
General criticism of movies based on video game franchises are not uncommon, with very few exceptions such as Detective Pikachu.[1] According to the BBC in 2001, the genre has a poor record at the box office,[2] and Uwe Boll’s attempts only worsened the notoriety of the genre. Quite simply put, many movies based on video game franchises do not perform well because it lacks the interactivity and non-linearity that makes video game franchises like Sonic successful.[3]
It's perhaps worth mentioning the first trailer prominently uses the song "Gangsta's Paradise" by Coolio. It's unknown whether or not the film producers intentionally used the song as a shout out to "Trollsta's Paradise", but the possibility isn't unlikely. As a side note, the main trailer for Detective Pikachu uses the song "Holding Out for a Hero" by Bonnie Tyler, though unlike Sonic, this was probably just a coincidence.
