Sonic Movie To Release November 15th, 2019
At long last, it seems the live-action/animated Sonic movie is coming to life. It was announced today from the Hollywood Reporter that the movie will release on November 15th, 2019.
Neal H. Moritz is producing the project, with Deadpool director Tim Miller executive producing. Also executive producing is Toby Ascher, while Dmitri Johnson and Dan Jevons will serve as co-producers.
Sonic will be directed by Jeff Fowler, who is making his directorial debut with the project. Paramount is planning a mix of live action and CGI to bring the character to life.
Fowler is known for directing the 2005 Oscar-nominated short Gopher Broke, which Miller exec produced.
So far, Sonic shares Nov. 15, 2019 with Warner Bros.’ Margie Claus, a musical comedy starring Melissa McCarthy as Santa Claus’ wife.

Finally a Release Date!
“mix of live action and CGI to bring the character to life.”
They have a odd definition of life
I may just be slow on the meaning, but care to elaborate on that?
Cool!
I seriously don’t know what to expect from this, on one hand it has Tim Miller producing and Flower who also lead Blur Studios so this should have great spectacle and visual effects, on the other hand this is still half live-action and based on a videogame, two of the biggest stigmas in movies, but if Sonic can carry a comic, an “OVA movie”, and several tv series I’m sure he can carry a movie and and very good one, it just needs the right people.
Meh.
Here is the short “Gopher Broke” which had been mentioned in the movie description and is an example of director Jeff Fowler’s work:
Also check the work of Blur Studio, an animation and vfx studio that works mostly on videogame cinematics, both producer Tim Miller and director Jeff Fowler lead Blur Studio together before moving to movies:

What if the movie is based on sonic forces.
Would be awesome, the game was very cinematic and the villain was very cool, I would just hope for it to have better writing.
And yet we still get to see NOTHING. No character stills, no screen shots not even what the title splash looks like?
Come on guys, at least do what Boom did and show of silhouettes of Sonic. Give us something besides the ever crawling forward date of release. And ever changing hand’s of directors.
Those are not good signs folks.
