    May 30, 2020
    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.

      Jim Carrey Credits Trailer Backlash for Making 'Sonic the Hedgehog' Better

      The live-action adaptation of the SEGA console game has undergone changes at the titular character’s looks after its teaser, which was released in April, drew negative reactions from fans.
      Feb 15, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Jim Carrey is glad fans spoke out against the initial trailer for his new “Sonic the Hedgehog” movie.
      The teaser for the film, which stars Carrey as the computer-animated rodent’s nemesis, Dr. Ivo “Eggman” Robotnik, was released in April, but devotees of the original SEGA console game expressed dismay at the character’s looks, and the addition of human-like teeth in particular.
      Following the controversy, Sonic’s director Jeff Fowler, tweeted, “The message is loud and clear… you aren’t happy with the design & you want changes. It’s going to happen,” and a new, cartoonish version was revealed in a second trailer last November (2019).
      Speaking to Fox News, the star said of the controversy: “It turned out to be a co-op where everybody was in on the creation.”
      “I think everybody felt good about it ultimately because (director) Jeff Fowler (had) no ego involved at all. He just went, ‘These people grew up with it, and it’s important to them that we get it right.’ And I think it was just a much better movie because of it.”
      The “Bruce Almighty” actor added that he doesn’t create characters “based on what people are saying,” but that he also felt elements of the film weren’t “quite in the pocket” until being reworked.
      “It was my concern, as well,” he admitted. “(But) it turned out fantastic.”
      “Sonic the Hedgehog” is out now.
