10 Upcoming Movies With Troubled Productions
10. Sonic The Hedgehog
Sonic The Hedgehog turned into a bigger story than anyone could have imagined. What may not have started as a troubled production has recently become one.
The film debuted its first trailer late last month and it made headlines for all the wrong reasons. The trailer gave fans their first true look at Sonic and faced immediate backlash from fans for the design of the titular hedgehog. The spiked speedster sparked feelings of uncanny valley instead of the Genesis-era nostalgia Paramount was surely hoping to capture.
Sonic the Hedgehog Director Jeff Fowler heard the outcry from fans and announced via Twitter that the character would be redesigned. Although audiences should never feel entitled to changing a studio's already completed work, some credit should be given to Fowler and Paramount for listening to fans.
With that said, the visual effects team now face the daunting task of reanimating a character from scratch under a tight deadline. It will be interesting to see if they can pull it off or if the movie will soon face a delay.
