'SONIC' Goes Large

'Sonic The Hedgehog'

Any video gamer knows the game 'Sonic The Hedgehog' and Paramount Pictures thinks Sonic deserves a place on the big screen. The Sega video game franchise, of the same name, was launched over 26 years ago and has sold more than 360 million copies including digital games on consoles, tablets, and mobile.

For those of you non-gamers, the game features a hedgehog named Sonic who is on a quest to defeat Doctor Robotnik, an evil scientist.  The game has been enormously successful and established the Sega Genesis console player.

The film will be a combo live action and animation and will be Sonic's first film. CMG predicts that 'Sonic The Hedgehog' will be a big box office hit upon release.
