'Sonic The Hedgehog' Movie Set For 2019 With Marsden To Star

Billed as "the fastest thing alive," Sonic the Hedgehog was created and produced by Sega nearly thirty years ago. After over a quarter century as a gaming icon, Sega's "Sonic the Hedgehog" will finally get his due on the silver screen. Variety reported on Wednesday night that Paramount's planned "live-action/animation" hybrid film will star Westworld's James Marsden and be executive produced by Deadpool director Tim Miller. The yet-untitled picture is due for release on Nov. 15, 2019. Paramount secured the film rights to the game in 2017 and appointed director Jeff Fowler to helm the project.
