As we all know, film adaptations of video games are often not welcomed in the best way. This was not for Sonic - The movie, one of the last titles to be released in theaters before closing around the world due to Covid-19. Even surpassing competitor Detective Pikachu, Sonic became the highest-grossing video game movie in the United States. About his success, the director of the film Ivo Gersovich wanted to thank all the fans through their Reddit account, and talk about some news in sight:
The success of the film made it possible to make the brand known also to new generations and to make it rediscovered by all nostalgics. The whole team that worked on the project, even if some were initially skeptical, are continuing to support him. Certainly working on a project considered nostalgic is not easy. Now it is as if we were a huge snowball that keeps getting bigger, it's all about controlling its pace. Surely this hype is an opportunity to continue telling stories and providing fans with new gadgets and themed products.
In another post Gersovich continued to talk about their staff:
Seeing all the passion that every single staff member put into making Sonic - The Movie, I was sure something special would come out. That said, the fact that it broke the record as the highest-grossing video game-based film shows that talent and passion always lead to something good.
Surely the intention to create a masterpiece that could satisfy all fans was shown from the beginning. In fact, we remember the controversy caused by the first bizarre design chosen for the blue hedgehog - according to most of the fans unsuitable - promptly replaced by the producers, while postponing the release of the film for a few months. So let's talk about a deserved success that of Sonic - The movie, already available digitally in United States e coming soon to our country. As for a probable sequel, we have no confirmed news. The director said he would be very happy to be able to continue the story. We, as usual, will not fail to keep you updated on all the news.
