Earlier yesterday, President and CEO of SEGA, Hajime Satomi, confirmed that a Sonic the Hedgehog movie is indeed on the way and is currently slated to be released in 2018. The Sonic the Hedgehog movie has been confirmed to be both animated and live action.
“Sega Sammy Group is currently planning with Sony Pictures to create a live-action and animation hybrid “Sonic the Hedgehog” movie scheduled for release in 2018. Like with this CG animation production, we would like to expand our business into other entertainment areas beyond what we are currently involved.”
It’s very nice to see more video game series and franchises getting movie releases. Warcraft, Ratchet and Clank, and Assassin’s Creed, are among a few titles that have releases coming up quite soon, that have generated quite a bit of hype! Hopefully SEGA does this movie right and it doesn’t turn out nearly as bad as their past few Sonic the Hedgehog titles, oh yeah, and that new TV series they’ve been doing.
