Sonic the Hedgehog has been in development as a movie since Hollywood studio Sony acquired the adaptation rights in 2013.
Sonic the Hedgehog director Jeff Fowler has announced that “changes” will be made to the forthcoming movie based on the video game after the trailer premiere was met with blistering criticism.
The three-minute trailer, featuring star Jim Carrey as Dr Eggman alongside the CGI-animated hedgehog, debuted on Tuesday, and was greeted with considerable derision.
However, it failed to get a project off the ground, and the rights passed to Paramount in 2017.
