Jim Carrey

Leaked storyboards from Sonic 3 seem to indicate that Jim Carrey will be returning to his role as Doctor Eggman, something that initially seemed unlikely after he retired from acting in 2022.

Knuckles, Paramount Plus’ spinoff series of the Sonic the Hedgehog movies, could have been a shameless IP cash-in. And the premiere isn’t far off! Following the events of Sonic the Hedgehog 2, we find Sonic and Miles “Tails” Prower living an idyllic life in Montana, and helping their new red echidna friend get the hang of Earth life. Without the budget for a big action spectacle, it’s mostly a kid sitcom with the Sonic gang — until it very much is not. In the subsequent five episodes, Knuckles (voiced again by Idris Elba) pairs up with dimwitted Green Hills sheriff Wade Whipple (Adam Pally) on a road trip to Nevada, where they both hope to find meaning in the world. The result is basically Tommy Boy for Sega buffs. It’s bananas.

Two years after debuting in Sonic the Hedgehog 2, it seems a Hollywood leading man of sufficient talent has finally been found to portray the edgy Shadow the Hedgehog. Keanu Reeves, who needs no introduction but will get one anyway, is the star of film franchises like The Matrix and John Wick, and, of course, Cyberpunk 2077, has been confirmed to play the part.

I've been watching this year's ostensible "major" news developments - the launch of a Fallout TV show, the impending release of Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree, to pick a couple - with a sense of zealous disapproval and weary resignation as to the hubris of human beings. Do these brazen publishers and developers not know that this, the year 2024, is the Year of Shadow the Hedgehog?

Keanu Reeves has reportedly joined the cast of the Sonic the Hedgehog 3 movie, stepping into the slick sneakers of Shadow the Hedgehog. Sonic 3 is set to release in cinemas on 20th December 2024.

For a while now, the identity of Shadow the Hedgehog's voice actor in the upcoming Sonic movie has been a complete mystery, with Paramount and Sega happy to let that mystery sit to drum up excitement around the movie. Actors such as Hayden Christensen, Robert Pattinson, Christian Bale, and many other edgy actors were banded around for the role, but it looks like The Matrix and John Wick star Keanu Reeves has landed the role.

Keanu Reeves has joined the cast of Sonic the Hedgehog 3, according to reports.

As if casting Idris Elba in Sonic the Hedgehog 2 wasn't enough of a scoop, this year's third Sonic movie will reportedly see the eternally youthful Keanu Reeves take on the role of Shadow.

When Sega dubbed 2024 the year of Shadow the Hedgehog, the company really wasn’t kidding. Now, it’s looking like beloved actor Keanu Reeves may be the voice of Sonic’s rival in the Sonic 3 movie. The casting was confirmed by The Hollywood Reporter on Monday, citing multiple anonymous sources.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2’s post-credits scene made it abundantly clear that fan-favourite Sonic character Shadow – first introduced in 2001’s Sonic Adventure 2 – would have a major role to play in the next instalment of Paramount Pictures and Sega’s film franchise. Speculation and rumours about who the Ultimate Lifeform would be played by have been rampant since then, and it seems we now have concrete details on that front.

The Sonic the Hedgehog 3 movie got a new teaser at CinemaCon, revealing a new look for the returning villain, Eggman. While the clip hasn't been made public yet, multiple attendees report that Eggman has put on some weight, putting him more in line with his appearance in the games.

For as long as video games have existed, film producers have adapted them for the big screen. The rationale behind these decisions is clear, as big-name video game properties have the potential to bring a lot of fans into the theater. But they have seen limited success over the years.

Video game adaptations are on a hot streak. Films like The Super Mario Bros. Movie and Sonic the Hedgehog 2 were massive box office hits, while series like The Last Of Us and Halo have made for stellar TV shows.

Sega has found a great deal of success with the Sonic the Hedgehog movies, and that train is going to keep chugging along. Paramount Pictures announced back in 2022 that a third film in the franchise had been officially greenlit, and ahead of its release later this year, the movie has wrapped up filming. The same was confirmed by its director Jeff Fowler in a recent tweet.

A new mod for takes aim at Astarion's appearance, making him look less like the monster that stole Christmas. In the months after its launch, Larian Studio's massive role-playing game has been the recipient of innumerable mods that adjust everything from the overall graphics to minute tweaks like how NPCs' eyes respond to the player. Yet while there are plenty that change the appearance of the game's more notable characters, this particular mod takes aim at a very specific issue with Astarion.

Developers from the Sonic Frontiers team have shed some light on the project's road to release, revealing that in many ways, it was a make-or-break moment for the series.

The Sonic the Hedgehog 3 cast is set to include Jessica Jones star Krysten Ritter, but a recent insider rumor conflicts with previous speculation and suggests she may not play an animated character after all.

We’ve known for just about two years now that a Knuckles TV series was on the way. Today, we get our first taste of what to expect when the show drops on April 26.

The Knuckles TV show from Paramount finally has a full trailer and release date.

The Sonic the Hedgehog movie franchise already has plans for Shadow the Hedgehog's future if recent rumors from behind the scenes at Paramount are to be believed.

The director of Warner Bros' upcoming Minecraft film adaptation wants to avoid any kind of fan reaction akin to that 'Ugly Sonic' reveal.

Happy new year all. What's the weather like where you are? We've got Amber and Yellow warnings in London - I do not understand what these terms mean, but I'm going to add a Sapphire warning for escalating Maw activity. The creature was pretty lively over the Xmas weekend, but Graham managed to soothe it with posts about gaming-related new year resolutions and, of all things, the Spike Video Game Awards. We can expect the Maw's petulance to mount during January, a lean month for announcements and revelations, but there are a few tasty morsels in the offing - a new Prince of Persia and Tekken 8, for instance. Fingers crossed we can build up some kind of momentum.

After literal decades of middling-to-terrible 3D Sonic games, it seemed like an actual honest-to-god miracle that the Sonic movie and its sequel were so successful. Both movies got largely positive reviews, were praised for the performances of Ben Schwartz as Sonic and Jim Carrey as Robotnik, and made $300 million and $400 million, respectively.

SAG-AFTRA, a union that represents 160,000 people ranging from actors to recording artists to radio personalities, has been on strike since July 13, bringing Hollywood to a standstill. Actors cannot film movies, promote their work, or cross the picket line in any way, as they protest against unfair pay, the push to replace them with AI, and more. To try and get around these strikes, Paramount is filming Sonic 3 scenes without any performers.

The ongoing actors' strike has ground much of Hollywood to a halt – but some studios are carrying on with production regardless. This is possible for movies and shows filming outside of the US, especially if a project's cast isn't American and members of SAG-AFTRA, the union currently on strike.

will begin filming without actors during the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike.
