[JareBear: Remastered]

"Sonic the Hedgehog" is getting a sequel.

Paramount Pictures and Sega Sammy confirmed on Thursday that they have commenced development on a sequel to the live-action family comedy. The sequel would reteam the filmmakers, with Jeff Fowler directing, and Pat Casey and Josh Miller writing the script.

The movie is still in the development stage so decisions have not been made yet regarding casting or a production start date.

Not a surprise. The Sonic movie was a success with the casual audience and the fans. Heck, we already had rumors of James Marsden being in talks for the sequel.

100% justified and I'm actually looking forward to it. Plenty of material to use.

Good.
It was the last major release that came before the coronavirus and, as much as it was maligned, turned out to be a really fun movie despite a year of mocking.

Hopefully they don't bring back child-mass-murderer, Jim Carrey.

Nice, time to go all in on Mobius, less of the real world stuff (and certainly less Olive Garden/Amazon), more Robotnik and Speed parts.

Just based off the ending, literally going to be,

It was good for a movie based on Sonic and I thought it was better than Detective Pikachu. Had charm and crazy Carrey was fun.

Hahaha.

I seriously can't wait for more Robotnik. Carrey is a treasure.

 

[Ikutachi]

Before the movie I'd never envision Carrey as Robotnik.

I found the movie was actually quite enjoyable. I found it charming and cute.

I hope the sequel goes well!

Both it and detective Pikachu hit the marks as "good" video game movies, they were fun, the director and writers seem to care about the actual charecters and world, and they were made with good quality. Glad we're getting a sequel.

I love Sonic the Hotdog, specially the N64 game.

Was Tails in the movie? I didn't see it

I think he was at the end of the movie, maybe in an after credits scene.

Sonic The Corndog is my favorite pizzeria

I found the film surprisingly enjoyable, was expecting a complete trainwreck but it turned out to be pretty solid.

The redesign did wonders I think. I'd be up for a sequel.

Never really grew up with either 'Pokemon' or 'Sonic', but I found it surprising I enjoyed this one much more.

If I'd have to describe the movie in as few words as possible, they'd definitely have to be...oddly earnest. Who even makes the kind of movies these days that can conjure up that kind of feeling? Always liked James Marsden. Too bad his career never really took off, one way or another, as he's a decent actor. Jim Carrey kinda made me all nostalgic for that whole Ace Ventura era, where comedy used to be a significantly different beast.

Hopefully they'll tighten up the sequel in all the ways in needs to be.
