AceShowbiz – “Sonic the Hedgehog” is to return for a sequel after the original smashed the U.S. record for the biggest video game movie opening of all time.
Paramount Pictures and Sega Sammy confirmed on Thursday, May 28, 2020 that they’ve started work on a follow-up film, which will bring back Jeff Fowler as director and Pat Casey and Josh Miller as scriptwriters.
The first film starred James Marsden and Jim Carrey and featured the voice of Ben Schwartz as the world’s speediest hedgehog, but decisions have yet to be made on casting for the next film.
News of a sequel comes as little surprise given the immense success of “Sonic the Hedgehog’, which beat previous record holder “Detective Pikachu” by almost $3 million upon its release.

“I’m Andrew Patterson, and I’m the director of ‘The Vast of Night.’ So the actress here is Sierra McCormick, and she’s playing Fay, who is all by herself with the 500 members of her town all at a basketball game. So the movie is set in November of 1958, and the setting is in a fictional town of Cayuga, New Mexico.” [STRANGE SOUND] “And the first thing that happens in this scene is you hear a very new sound. We wanted the sound in particular to be new in cinema. And so we worked pretty hard at mixing a number of elements together, and then Fay responds to it in a way that initially is— it frames it as a viewer. Like you see that she doesn’t understand it, and even though she’s not threatened by it, she certainly starts taking immediate action.” “Hello? Hello? Hello?” “Listen, ma’am, can you disconnect and then try again? It’s all—” ””— calling, and it’s a strange, large object holding over my land off and on, like a tornado. Please send the police.” “Ma’am, is this an emergency?” “All of that frames your relationship to the sound. All of that kind of creates a tension that is a setup in this scene. And hopefully as a viewer you’re looking for the resolution just like Fay, the switchboard operator, is. And what we were aiming to do was, in her performance, not go to the extreme that you would probably expect in this scene from if you were watching a horror film or you were watching a different kind of genre. We wanted her to be very grounded and continue to be the stand-in for the viewer. And we worked on that by heavily rehearsing her performance. This is actually the scene Sierra chose to audition with. And from the time that she auditioned with it to the night when we got this shot, we pulled it way, way, way back because we knew that the film itself, we didn’t want to steal away the magic of where the film was going to go by having a large performance here. On set, there is no sound being played. The sound was a year away from being created at that point. And so she’s just playing to an AD reading lines very dryly in the room but not necessarily in a way that you can play off of as an actor. So it truly was both the sound and the people on the other end of the line were yet to be cast and yet to be created. So there’s no— Sierra had to very much do this on her own, reading against someone that has no training in acting.” ”—went away. I just wanted to see if it—” “Just call Everett” “Well, I don’t want to disturb—” “I think the only thing I told her as a director was this is something that is entrancing. It’s mesmerizing. It’s not scary. It’s not threatening. And if anything, it’s the thing that’s going to take you down the rabbit hole.” [STRANGE SOUND] More

AceShowbiz – Keanu Reeves’ struggle to nail the title of the first “John Wick” movie prompted filmmakers to change the title.
The 2014 blockbuster revenge tale, which centers on Reeves’ titular action hero, was initially called “Scorn” but “The Matrix” star failed to refer to the film properly in interviews.
“The only reason it’s called ‘John Wick’ is that Keanu kept referring to it as ‘John Wick’,” screenwriter Derek Kolstad told ComicBook.com. “Marketing was like, ‘Dude, that’s four to five million dollars in free advertising so far, so it’s ‘John Wick’ instead of ‘Scorn’.’ I can’t imagine it being ‘Scorn’ now.”
The change seems to have worked out, with the film becoming a huge hit spawning three sequels, including “John Wick: Chapter 4”, which is set to be released next year (21).

Paramount gives a green light to the sequel with Jeff Fowler back in the director’s chair, while Pat Casey and Josh Miller are returning to write the script.
May 29, 2020
AceShowbiz – “Sonic the Hedgehog” is set to sprint for another lap. A sequel to the video game adaptation is in the works at Paramount, following the hugely successful performance of the first movie. Paramount Pictures and Sega Sammy confirmed the news on Thursday, May 28.
The sequel will bring back its team of filmmakers, with Jeff Fowler returning on the director’s chair, and Pat Casey and Josh Miller being tapped to write the script again. Neal H. Moritz, Toby Ascher and Toru Nakahara are producing the picture, while Hajime Satomi, Haruki Satomi and Tim Miller are on board as executive producers.
According to Variety which first reported the news, “Sonic the Hedgehog 2” is still in the development stage so decisions have not been made yet regarding casting or a production start date. In the first movie, Ben Schwartz voices the CGI-animated titular character, while James Marsden stars in live-action role as Sonic’s new best friend Tom. Jim Carrey portrays the villain in the first movie, Dr. Robotnik, with Tika Sumpter starring as a veterinarian and Tom’s wife, Maddie Wachowski.
Based on the popular video game franchise from Sega, the first film was initially met with skepticism after the original design of Sonic was heavily criticized by fans due to a more humanlike physique of the character, with new running sneakers, two separate eyes and muscled legs. In response to the criticism, Fowler announced that Sonic would be redesigned, causing a delay from its original release date of November 8 to February 14, 2020.
“Sonic the Hedgehog” was eventually released on January 25 of this year to majorly positive reviews. Commercially, it opened to $58 million at the box office, marking the biggest opening for any video game film ever. With a total of $146.1 million in the United States and Canada, it is now the highest-grossing video game movie of all time domestically, while earning $306.7 million globally.
