SONIC THE HEDGEHOG - More Leaked Artwork Featuring The Redesigned Speedster Revealed

SONIC THE HEDGEHOG - More Leaked Artwork Featuring The Redesigned Speedster Revealed

Earlier today, a video started doing the rounds online showing what appeared to be a redesigned version of the title character in the Sonic the Hedgehog movie. Now, we have a closer look at that artwork...

As you can see from the banner image above, Paramount decided to completely redesign the iconic blue speedster for the upcoming live-action Sonic the Hedgehog movie. While they clearly hoped to bring him into a real-world setting, the reaction to those first images and the trailer was overwhelmingly negative and it forced the studio to delay the film and go back to the drawing board.

As a result, Sonic is now being completely re-designed, and some images have popped up online today showing what may be Paramount's brand new take on the iconic video game character.

As you can see, they've altered the original design and ditched all the changes that were made beyond how his fur will look on screen. He has the familiar gloves and shoes, not to mention a shorter stature which is much closer to what we're used to seeing. 

The eyes have also been altered, and it seems they're now going the Detective Pikachu route by lifting this character straight out of the games with pretty much no changes (which is what fans want to see). Time will tell whether this is real, but Sonic the Hedgehog has been plagued by leaks from the start, so chances are it is.

What do you guys think fo this new version?

The problem is the lack of peanut butter.

Kids gonna see this cute little furball, and immediately go to the toy store and see that all the Sonic movie merchandise looks like a rejected Cronenberg monster since there wasn't enough time to re-do the action figures or halloween costumes

@tmp3 - I think it's generous to think that there are going to be a lot of kids looking for Sonic merchandise at all.

@Spock0Clock - Addams Family just opened to $30m, I've stopped doubting the power of soccer moms leaving their kids at the cinema for an hour and a half

Lol how they didn't come to this design result from the jump.

But there are other problems besides the design.

Now imagine how much time would have been saved if they had just did this first.

It's a video game movie so you know it'll be good.

Doesn't he have pink-ish arms?

Don't make me tweet and send y'all back to the drawing board yet again.

@Primordiac - I never liked the naked arms, personally.

Honestly, I'm kind of looking forward to some classic Jim Carrey overacting.

Overall, it looks like an improvement, but from the head-on perspective, it looks like he's got a massive tumor on his head going on right there. Of course, "quality" doesn't matter with this kind of flick anyway. If an Angry Birds movie can turn a profit, just about anything can.
