Sonic has super-speed — and now he has a voice!
With Paramount confirming that it will be making a movie about the lightning-quick hedgehog, the studio has now announced that his voice will be provided by Ben Schwartz of Parks and Recreation.
The film has been in the works for quite a while as it was originally set to be produced by Sony before they let the rights lapse. The project was then picked up by Paramount.
Kidding star, Jim Carrey, has already signed on and will play the role of mad scientist, Doctor Eggman Robotnik — Sonic’s arch enemy.
The blue hedgehog will have help from his friends who will be portrayed by Westworld actor, James Marsden, and The Have and the Have Nots actress, Tika Sumpter.
Sonic the Hedgehog, which is the debut feature film of Gopher Broke director, Jeff Fowler, and will feature both live action and CGI, will speed onto screens on November 15 2019.
