Paramount Pictures has given “Sonic the Hedgehog” a release date of November 15, 2019.
The project, based on the Sega video game franchise, had been in the works at Sony Pictures studio, but the studio let its film rights lapse and Paramount picked up the project in October.
Sega launched the Sonic game in 1991 and has sold more than 360 million copies to date, including both packaged and digital games on consoles, tablets, and mobile.
The game features a blue hedgehog named Sonic whose peaceful life is often interrupted by Doctor Eggman, a mad scientist who is trying to conquer the world, and by Doctor Robotnik, another scientist who has imprisoned animals in robots and stolen magical Chaos Emeralds.
