IF!!! Sonic the hedgehog movie

[Dr. Robotnik]

now ignore the original japanese Sonic movie (which is acutally a 2 part anime series strung together.)


If we were to make a western Sonic the hedgehog movie how would you have it?

CGI? animated?
CGI and live action?

And what storyline would you have? and What characters?

as a film studies pet project me and a fellow studant have been trying to make a script to one of our ideas (will post later maybe)


remember as a film it does not HAVE to abide by every detail of specific universe's (so STC features can appear in it, or take a different twist on the origins of characters)


anyway...

An anime movie, but drawn and animated well...

I woul base it around the storyline of Sonic battle, that way all the characters coud have their shot of fame.

I'd love to see a cinematic version of Nigel Kitching's Chaos arc. Probably traditional animation since that seems to be overlooked for computer animation at present.

[ChaosX3]

If there was a movie, I'd like to see ALL the characters open up a canna woop-ass, especially Cream and Tails.

And I like Ed's idea of Chaos arc. *Drools whilst thinking of movie*

[SonicFanatic]

CG would certainly be interesting, as long as it was really good quality, like SquareSoft, not The Hulk. The Hulk looked like plasticene. There is no way Sonic could be shot in live action though. Yeesh, that would be some serious special effects.

[Turbocharge]

CG! yeah! (offtopic: anyone else awaiting Advent Children?)

personally, i'd like to see soemthing stick to Sonic Team's official world for once. instead of all this chopping and changing of characters and locations.

I've always liked cell shading since I first saw it used in Zoids, wouldn't mind a 3D series or Movie actually, it would be an interesting new twist in the Sonicverse.

[Sin]

If it was live action I would kill myself. If anyone has seen the Mario movie you will know what I mean and if you haven't then my warning is never to watch it if you value your sanity.

[Dr. Robotnik]

This was a visual effect I had in my mind for the opening now tell me how this as a fan would make you feel.



You sit down in a cinema the trailers etc go by. The Studio logos go by and then..............



The screen goes white. The words SEGA appear in Blue followed by the oh so well loved "SEGAAAAA"

The screen goes dark again. Music plays. Very similar to the music in the old 16 bit games but not so loud the screen lights up to show the green hill as done by the original Sonic team in 16 bit graphics a narrator starts explaining the origin of sonic (imp. to our script) and how he turned blue and how Robotnik was created. This narration is coupled with the story being showed in pure mega drive glory right until the point where the narrator explains that sonic dedicated himself to fighting Robotnik and Keeping the chaos Emeralds safe. Upon which it shows in 16-bit Sonic running into Robotniks base and jumping over a loud of missiles and as he does it goes matrix and turns into proper state of the art CGI and then an opening battle between robotnik and sonic...


The story line we were hoping for would be how sonic and tails first meet up (on mobius) and face robotnik and Shadow (with help from Knuckles and Amy) Its a big step from the games/animes chronological order but we felt this sort of storyline gave the film more balance while giving the audiance who and what they want to see.

The style of animation I want is CGI but with traditional effects over it (like smoke and wind and fire drawn over the cgi bases)

This is a realy odd idea, and im not saying it world work, but haw about live action for sation square with sonic and tails CG'd into it. Eggman would also be a real actor. It would be like the Yoda scenes from episode 2

Very nice.

In agree, the 16 bit idea is great! But personally I would leave Shadow out
*Runs for hours from Shadow fans before being caught by their antigrav shoes and getting beat up*
My reasoning is that an ezact copy against normal one with the evil one turning good may be a good game script but not a good movie one. I would say take it back to basics really. And put Shadow in a sequel, he wouldnt do well in the first film.

[ChaosX3]

How about a "Looney Tunes- Back in Action" style- animation on real backgrounds.

EDIT: yes, that is what we have been talking about for the last ten posts *Loads gun*Shot*

[Ellie]

well, i'd like it to be computerised, and based on STC, cause its my fave adaptation of Sonic. But if it was drawn that would be fine to. I'd actually prefer a series based upon STC cause the stories are brilliant. Can you imagine the Brotherhood of Metallix as a cartoon? to name one.

[ChaosX3]

Just look at the avatar- I LOVE BoM... *Drool over BoM cartoon*

[HyperKnux99]

i promise if my movie career goes anywhere i'll make a sonic movie and ask the fans what they want

[Retro]

Then make sure you post about it here man.
Um, by any chance are you going to try for a movie career? Cos if you were then there will be great hope!
