So the interesting thing about this upcoming “Sonic The Hedgehog” live-action film was that the first official trailer surfaced several weeks ago, if not a few months and then it vanished when there was a public outcry about the depiction of the character. Apparently the character looked “too human” for many peoples liking and the studio halted everything to redesign him. Now, only a few months shy of its release we have a brand-new Official Trailer. Let’s take a look down below. I’ve also added the premise and casting for good measure.

The Plot: Sonic, a blue anthropomorphic hedgehog from an alternate dimension, comes to Earth to escape malevolent forces that seek to harness his power of super-speed. After accidentally causing a massive power outage while hiding out in the town of Green Hills, Montana, Sonic is targeted by the government who then hire the tyrannical roboticist Dr. Robotnik to hunt him down. Meanwhile, Green Hills sheriff Tom Wachowski meets Sonic and decides to help him evade capture, collect his rings, and stop Robotnik from using Sonic’s powers for world domination.

Though this trailer has been making the rounds for a couple of months I’m sharing it with you today based on my seeing a booth set up for the film at this years Anime NYC convention, I figured that I should post something based on the eventual USA screening of the film which I am told will be in January of 2020. Since this was more of a Romantic Comedy as opposed to a Kaiju, Sorcery or Science Fiction film that I would feature on the other website, I’ve added this trailer to our Film and Television section on “The Chronicles”. Enjoy.

Storyline: A high-school boy who has run away to Tokyo befriends a girl who appears to be able to manipulate the weather.
