The Hollywood Reporter:

Sonic the Hedgehog will be racing into theaters next year.

The Paramount film, based on the popular SEGA videogame character, will open Nov. 15, 2019.

Neal H. Moritz is producing the project, with Deadpool director Tim Miller executive producing. Also executive producing is Toby Ascher, while Dmitri Johnson and Dan Jevons will serve as co-producers.

Sonic will be directed by Jeff Fowler, who is making his directorial debut with the project. Paramount is planning a mix of live action and CGI to bring the character to life.

They’ll definitely have to move fast (ha!) on this one, especially since Universal/Illumination are working on a Super Mario Bros. movie.

Key number one to making a Sonic the Hedgehog movie work: No kissing humans.
