According to reports, Sony has allowed film rights of its iconic video game Sonic the Hedgehog expire. This means a film adaptation from Sony will no longer materialize.
This could go either ways, a sad day or a happy day for the fans of the videogame depending on how they feel about a film adaptation from Sony Pictures.
But there is still hope for those who really want to see a Sonic film, regardless of which studio is at the helm, as Paramount Pictures has taken over the project and has retained key players.
Some of the people who have stayed on include Deadpool director Tim Miller as producer along with Blur Studio’s Jeff Fowler and Neal H. Moritz of the Original Film.
According to initial reports, the film will use hybrid live action and CGI which could be a point of contention for many fans, if the mixed reaction towards 2006’s Sonic the Hedgehog game is any indication.
