I’m sure you’ve all heard of the upcoming live-action film of Sonic the Hedgehog which has received a lot of criticism due to the weird CGI version of Sonic.
Recently Jeff Fowler, the director of Paramount Pictures’ Sonic the Hedgehog film has tweeted about the backlash and is assuring distressed fans across the world that all the feedback was heard loud and clear. He also confirmed that Sonic’s character design will be changed.
Thank you for the support. And the criticism. The message is loud and clear… you aren't happy with the design & you want changes. It's going to happen. Everyone at Paramount & Sega are fully committed to making this character the BEST he can be… #sonicmovie #gottafixfast 🔧✌️
