Paramount Pictures has nabbed the movie rights to Sonic the
Hedgehog, the popular SEGA video game franchise.
Neal H. Moritz, whose Original Film banner recently signed an
upcoming first look deal with Paramount, will produce the project, which
is coming to the studio after Sony Entertainment put it into turnaround.
Much of the team that was developing it at Sony remains: In addition to
Moritz, Deadpool director Tim Miller is executive producing, while his
longtime Blur Studio collaborator Jeff Fowler will make his feature
directorial debut on the film. Also executive producing is Toby Ascher,
while Dmitri Johnson and Dan Jevons will serve as co-producers.
Paramount plans on making a movie that will blend live action and CGI
animation as it brings Sonic to the big screen for the first time.
Fowler previously wrote and directed the animal-centric Gopher Broke, the 2005 Academy Award-nominated
animated short that Miller executive produced.
