After years of mediocre content, the video game curse still remains a tough one to break. Interestingly, studios have begun developing game adaptations that veer from their source material.
For example,
Assassin's Creed built upon the canon that was already established on platforms, while the Tom Holland led
Uncharted film is aiming to tell a prequel to Naughty Dog's cinematic storytelling.
Sonic the Hedgehog, the latest video game movie to hit production, will be using familiar characters and locations to craft an original story. Some have already been spotted on set.
Having started production only a week ago, the
Sonic the Hedgehog film is already delving into nostalgia. Green Hill Zone, a name familiar to fans of the franchise, will be making its live action debut during the hybrid film. The location of Green Hills, which set the tone for Sonic as the game's first level, seems to be under the watch of Sheriff Tom Wachowski (James Marsden), the film's human lead.
