According to Jeff Fowler, they still have plenty of stories to tell and characters to explore, something they want to do if given the chance.
He has been caught by the coronavirus, but the production at Paramount Pictures has performed very well at the box office while in theaters. With the closing of the theaters, the producer has decided to bring forward the launch of Sonic The Movie in digital format, since its passage through the theaters has been interrupted in many countries. The good figures augur a sequel, but its director, Jeff Fowler, asserts that there is no green light for a second installment. Of course, he is more than willing to shoot it, according to statements published in USA Today.
"There are so many great characters and stories to tell," says the director. “Nothing would make me happier than having another chance with these characters and telling more stories. We'd love to do more with the Sonic movie universe. ” According to the filmmaker, they have received numerous questions from fans that they have not yet been able to answer. Is Tails out there? And Knuckles? "We had to plant that little Easter egg and say, We know you love these characters. We would be excited to introduce them to future stories if we can do it. ”
Redesign for good
Sonic The Movie started out on the wrong foot. The official trailer premiere finally uncovered the look of SEGA's hedgehog in the live-action movie. Her stylized look, quite far from the classic character, immediately caught the attention of fans, who soon put the cry in the sky on social networks. In this situation, Paramount decided to delay the film for a few months and redesign its protagonist. In the end, the team has managed to preserve the essence of Sonic.
In the same way that The Mandalorian unleashed insanity with Baby Yoda, Paramount tried something similar with the miniature version of Sonic. Admittedly, he hasn't gotten the same reaction as the character from the Star Wars series, although he also qualifies as an adorable-looking character.
