Sony is currently developing a
Sonic the Hedgehog movie based on the popular video games. Word is, tough, that this will most likely be a family-friendly, animated, franchise -- and most likely will not go the route of
Super Mario Bros., which is a damn shame.
Looking to launch a new family film franchise, Sony Pictures Entertainment has teamed with SEGA Sammy Group division Marza Animation Planet to develop a hybrid/live action and CG-animated feature film based on the Sonic The Hedgehog video game series. The film will be scripted by Evan Susser and Van Robichaux. 22 Jump Street’s Neal H. Moritz will produce through his Original Film banner, with Marza’s Takeshi Ito and Mie Onishi. Toby Ascher will be exec producer.
