User:SonicFTW/sandbox/Sonic the Hedgehog (Cancelled Sony Pictures Live-Action Film)

Sonic the Hedgehog (2018) is a cancelled live-action computer animated film that was originally supposed to be produced by Columbia Pictures and Marza Animation Planet. It would be produced by Neal H. Moritz by his Original Film banner alongside Takeshi Ito, Mie Onishi, and Toru Nakahara, and written by Evan Susser and Van Robichaux. Blur Studio's Tim Miller and Jeff Fowler were hired in 2016 to develop it; Fowler would make his feature directorial debut, and Miller would serve as executive producer. Patrick Casey, Josh Miller, and Oren Uziel were writing the screenplay, while Casey and Miller wrote the story. But in October 2, 2017, the film was cancelled most likely due to financing issues, after Sony put the film in turnaround, which is saddening, considering the fact that this film would have pretty much had potential back then. That's why everybody hates executive meddling.

Find out what would have happened if Sony made a Sonic movie.

Why It Was Cancelled

 * 1) The movie was cancelled for many reasons: A big fight occurred with Neal H. Moritz and Tom Rothman over Passengers. The latter wanted to slash the budget and telling the former that Passengers didn't sell well, the former threatening the latter on selling Passengers to other studios. After Passengers became a box office flop, another big fight between Neal Moritz and Tom Rothman occured, causing the former to quit Sony Pictures, in favor of Paramount, taking the film rights to Sonic with him. I mean, COME ON! Just because a particular movie didn't do well doesn't mean you have to do any of that crap. Rinzler Productions wasn't kidding when he said that this movie would have had potential.

Results

 * Paramount Pictures remade the film and it was originally scheduled to be released on November 10, 2019, but was delayed by February 14, 2020 due to the backlash of Sonic's original design, and the film received better reception thanks to the redesign of Sonic.

What's Your Opinion On It?

 * 1) In my point of view, it sounds very good on paper.

Trivia

 * According to Tails' Channel on YouTube in 2014, the Sony version was meant for a aim at a PG-13 rating.
