Sonic the Hedgehog expected to have some sort of presence this weekend during the Super Bowl pregame show, Paramount Pictures has gone ahead and released a Big Game Spot for the Jeff Fowler-directed movie.
While the spot does feature fresh footage from the movie, it mostly sees top-level talents, including New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas, Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey, NASCAR champion Kyle Busch and Olympic gold medal-winning sprinter Allyson Felix, trying to keep up with the fastest hedgehog alive.
Along with the new spot, Paramount has also released a number of funny clips from the movie as well as a new Dolby Cinema-exclusive poster, featuring Sonic alongside his new human friend Tom Wachowski (James Marsden).
Based on the global blockbuster videogame franchise from Sega, SONIC THE HEDGEHOG tells the story of the world’s speediest hedgehog as he embraces his new home on Earth. In this live-action adventure comedy, Sonic and his new best friend Tom (James Marsden) team up to defend the planet from the evil genius Dr. Robotnik (Jim Carrey) and his plans for world domination. The family-friendly film also stars Tika Sumpter and Ben Schwartz as the voice of Sonic.
