According to a story on The Hollywood Reporter, Tim Miller—director of Deadpool—is going to be “developing an adaptation of Sonic the Hedgehog for Sony Pictures”. Which is a “a hybrid CG-animated/live-action family film”.
Miller wouldn’t be directing; that honour would go to Jeff Fowler, the director and co-founder of Blur Studios, aka the trailer guys.
