  • Deadpool Director Tim Miller to Produce Live-Action and CGI Sonic the Hedgehog Movie

    [ATTACH=CONFIG]9179[/ATTACH]
    Tim Miller, the director for the Deadpool film, is being brought on to be the Executive Producer on an upcoming Sony Pictures Sonic the Hedgehog movie. A Sonic movie that will be a mix of CGI and live-action.

    Yep.

    Hollywood Reporter has some of the details on what we can expect from this upcoming Sonic film.
    The plan is to make a hybrid CG-animated/live-action family film. Patrick Casey and Josh Miller, who created Golan the Insatiable, are writing the script.

    Miller and (Jeff) Fowler were nominated for a best animated short Oscar in 2005 for their farm animal-centric Gopher Broke (Fowler write and directed, Miller exec produced). The two have also been developing, with David Fincher, an animated adaptation of cult comic the Goon.

    Well, maybe it won't be that ba...

      Actually a live-action/CGI movie can be made without making us want to gouge our eyes out. And this is the same guy who watched over the VFX production for Hellgate: London, Mass Effect 2, and SWTOR, so he does have a video game background. Eddie Lebron did a proof of concept spec film on how a Sonic film COULD be made, and fans seem to resonate well with it (keep in mind, it's a spec film made on a laughably small budget). Plus it has Jaleel White reprise his role as Sonic, and has cameos of Craig from GameAttack (he recently left ScrewAttack), and James Rolfe from Cinemassacre (AVGN), for those who want them to cameo in anything. Point is, with a proper budget and cast, this could work.



      However, one thing bugs me. Tim Miller left Deadpool 2 for this?! He had some "creative differences" and jumped ship in favor of Sonic? That can't be a better career choice for him. I mean, movie wise he'd make so much more with Deadpool 2, and he WAS signed on to direct it! Very very odd choice for him to do this.
