The Sonic the Hedgehog movie is racing to Paramount Pictures after Sony Pictures put the project in turnaround, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Sonic previously headlined several animated series, starting with 1993’s Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, and he also made an authorized cameo appearance in the Disney hit Wreck-It Ralph.
Miller and his Blur Studio collaborator Jeff Fowler will develop the project, on which Fowler will make his feature directorial debut.
Deadpool director Tim Miller previously signed on to executive produce the movie, based on the SEGA character.
