Sonic The Hedgehog (movie)
Following the overwhelmingly negative reactions to the debut trailer for the Sonic The Hedgehog movie, it was announced that Sonic’s design would be fixed ahead of its release. Many people worried that this would be bad news for the various VFX artists, who would have to work around the clock in order to “fix” Sonic before the movie hit theatres in November.
But today, Jeff Fowler announced that the movie has been delayed to February 14th. Even though he did not explain why, it’s pretty clear this delay was there to accomodate for the extra work required to redo Sonic’s model (the hashtag used is a dead giveaway).
