Sonic the Hedgehog is an upcoming 2019 live-action animated superhero action film distributed by Paramount Pictures and based on the video game franchise published by Sega. The film is directed by Jeff Fowler and written by Patrick Casey, Josh Miller, and Oren Uziel, from a story by Van Robichaux and Evan Susser. It stars Ben Schwartz as the voice of Sonic the Hedgehog and Jim Carrey as Sonic's nemesis Doctor Robotnik, alongside James Marsden, Tika Sumpter, Adam Pally, and Neal McDonough. In the film, a small-town sheriff assists Sonic as he attempts to escape the government.
In 2013, Sony Pictures acquired the film rights to the Sonic franchise, and by 2014 had an adaptation in development. Fowler was hired to direct in 2016 and will make his feature directorial debut with the film. After Sony put the project in turnaround, Paramount acquired it in 2017, and the majority of the cast had signed on by August 2018. Filming took place between July and October 2018 in Vancouver, Ladysmith, and Vancouver Island.
Sonic the Hedgehog is scheduled to be released on November 8, 2019.
