INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
After months of leaked images and poster reveals, Paramount Pictures has finally released the first official trailer for its upcoming Sonic
the Hedgehog movie, and boy, it won't do much to dispel fans' fears.The most obviously worrying element is the film's grotesque Sonic
design, which inexplicably aims for a modicum of bizarre realism (wtf is with his very human teeth) while still looking to keep its titular
character cartoonish, leading to an end result that seems more like an off-brand 'blue hedgehog' Halloween costume than it does Sega's
Robotnik (Jim Carrey), who plans to capture our speedy blue protagonist and use his powers to take over the world (leading us to wonder why
Green Hill (as in Green Hill Zone, get it), presumedly leading to hilarious* hijinx and misadventures.Bewilderingly scored to Coolio's
'Gangsta's Paradise', the trailer features numerous attempts at comedy, only one of which actually lands in any capacity (bold choice to go
with a kidnapping joke in a kids movie)
at your peril below, and then avoid anything even remotely resembling a movie theater when the film releases on November 8, 2019.*Hilarity
