Jim Carrey plays the movie’s villain, Dr. Ivo Robtonik in Sonic the Hedgehog and is now sharing some of his thoughts on what happens when the fans win. Here’s what he says:
It’s not often that fans share their distaste in a movie prior to a release and the filmmakers decide to just go back to work and shift things around. Paramount is likely losing money on Sonic with redesign reworks happening at a quick pace and not to mention the movie will now open against Birds of Prey and The King’s Man. Jim Carrey poses some interesting words in light of the changes being made to Sonic the Hedgehog to the Sioux City Journal. What happens when creatives give away some creative liberties to please their audience?
But in this instance we are talking about Sonic the Hedgehog, the vastly popular video game character tons of fans grew up with. The issue at hand was that Sonic just didn’t look like Sonic. He had human teeth, long legs and completely different eyes. Some might say the design veered on nightmarish. Although it’s pretty incredible the filmmakers couldn’t anticipate this reaction before, they seem to understand it now as its inspired edits.
Sonic executive producer Tim Miller, who directed Deadpool and the upcoming Terminator: Dark Fate recently said he’s seen the redesign and thinks “fans will be pleased” about it. The movie stars Parks and Recreation’s Ben Schwartz as the blue hedgehog (who is apparently an alien now), James Marsden as a cop named Tom, alongside Jim Carrey’s Dr. Ivo Robtonik.
Sonic the Hedgehog hits theaters on February 14, 2020.
