SONIC: THE HEDGEHOG Official Trailer Reveals A Way Better Looking Sonic

Jeff Fowler’s new Sonic: The Hedgehog movie had a rough start back in April but is now looking to pick up the pace. The title character’s near-complete redesign has some influence here too, and it’s very positive. Based on the global blockbuster videogame franchise from Sega, SONIC THE HEDGEHOG tells the story of the world’s speediest hedgehog as he embraces his new home on Earth. In this live-action adventure comedy, Sonic and his new best friend Tom (James Marsden) team up to defend the planet from the evil genius Dr. Robotnik (Jim Carrey) and his plans for world domination.
