I am going to be honest. This sounds like another generic kids movie. Hardcore fans like anything Sonic, but a story this far out… I mean I get they are trying to get the family movie audience (so much for that PG-13) but it’s gonna get panned and made fun of. Bad enough channels like Game Grumps take every shot they can at Sonic (seriously, they wasted an entire first video of the Mega Collection just making fun of the covers of Archie Sonic) now they have this added to their arsenal. Will Mario get criticized when the mario movie comes out? Nope. Why? Well Mario has had a better track record for one, also it’s being fully animated by illumination studios. Illumination may be the poor man’s Pixar (or Dreamworks) but a Mario movie would do better off animated, as would Sonic. I wanted something close to Sonic Adventure 1 and 2, but this honestly sounds more like Sonic X. That’s fine for younger fans, but I can’t get into that. I mean Sony has pumped out enough movies similar to it. That whole Fish out of water concept with cartoons in a live action world with human actors has been done to death and done very poorly. I agree this is going to be bad. Really bad. Thankfully I still have the OVA on VHS to remind me Sonic can still be cool in a feature length film. I do wonder if this will affect the other Sega movies in production, as they have older fans, I wonder if they will cater to them with callbacks or if they will be as weird as “SONIC”. I mean House of the Dead’s movies aren’t great, but it’s zombies. Kind of hard to mess that up. Plenty of zombie movies go the B-movie route and end up being hilarious for all the wrong (or right) reasons. :p Ok the director for HOTD sucked, he ruined alot of adaptations. But I hear tell there’s a new HOTD origin story in the works. A serious one too. 😀 Also the Rent a Hero film. I mean yeah they are changing the origin story to Rent a Hero but…. Maybe it’ll be fixed in the final draft? ^^’ What about the other properties Sega is adapting to TV and film? way better than this, right? They have to be!
Also if they made a Crazy Taxi movie (which the rumors say yeah) would you keep the same kind of music, or update it with today’s stuff? What sorta music would work in a modern day Crazy Taxi? Who would play in it? I mean you could go with the 4 drivers in the first game or really any celebrity you can nab. Me personally, Samuel Jackson, no contest. I can just imagine him going nuts behind the wheel and yelling at his customers. XD
Pretty much any Dreamcast game being adapted into TV or film would have to take place in San Fransisco, right? Maybe Tokyo? or like Big Hero 6, just combine em! I mean hey, The Dark Knight Rises used 3 different cities, why not Jet Set Radio? Just film em at different times of the day and you’re all set! 😀 Of course you need the same composer. I’m sure he’d be up to composing a brand new soundtrack. Heck, toss in a video game tie in or a new entry and you’re Golden. Speaking O which……
Golden Axe needs to be bloody and violent, like Conan the Barbarian! I want Gimli for Thunderhead! No exceptions! XD
