So...they got rid of:

1. Him being fat
2. Having red'ish brown hair
3. The glasses

Basically took a unique/iconic looking character and made him look like a generic old man.

And they believe people will like it ...

I'm 75% sure that's not Jim Carrey. The facial structure just doesn't look like him. I know he's been known to have heavy makeup but that just looks like James Marsden with an old man. I think that twitter account is wrong.

you're right. jim doesn't look like that.

Amiablepercy · Sep 17, 2018

Carrey commits to things to such extremes that I think he will kill it.

Rumored story leak:

>Sonic (Schwartz) is a tearaway teenage rebel hedgehog living in the forest near Green Hills, Montana. He was mutated by experiments by Doctor Robotnik (Carrey), along with several other animals, who escaped years ago and now live in peace. Tails and Knuckles aren't mentioned in the script, but it can be inferred they're around.
>Doctor Robotnik's experiments centered around ancient golden Incan rings, which the animals took with them when they escaped.
>Sonic is restless and wants to see the world. He's caught speeding in Green Hills town and arrested by the sheriff, Tom (Marsden). He quickly becomes a viral sensation online, and draws the attention of Dr. Robotnik, who comes to Green Hills to get back the rings.
>Despite Tom trying to protect Sonic, he's captured by Robotnik and taken to his government lab. Tom is able to break inside with the help of town locals who have befriended Sonic, and together they free him.
>A last stand takes place in Green Hills as Robotnik launches an assault with gadgets and robots he's created, but is foiled by traps laid by the townsfolk and Sonic.
>Robotnik is blown up, survives, and is then arrested for his illegal experiments becoming public. Sonic is hailed as a hero, but rather than wanting to see the world, he decides he wants to stay and protect his home, Green Hills.
>Ends with him running down a highway.

i can't tell which of these is worse

Literally every video game to live action film adaptation ever made ends up sucking because they try to "do something different" instead of being faithful.

Mortal Kombat is still a good movie damn it!

It's going to be another decade before a director or producer starts to give a shit about video game movies. Just like it took nolan to make comic book movies cool again.

No faith in Detective Pikachu?

Or Metal Gear Solid (lol)

That looks nothing like Robotnick though.

You mean the best worst movie ever.

VinylCassette64 · Sep 17, 2018

Unless this is supposed to be a disguise, that design looks nothing like any incarnation of Eggman/Robotnik, not even the Saturday morning cartoon versions; that looks more like Dr. Light from Megaman. Not too surprised given the direction this project has taken from the very beginning though.

Hopefully Carrey has fun in the role and turns out an entertaining performance nonetheless.

I'm dying to see this movie. It's so incredibly divorced from the current state of the IP that it has to be intentional.

chrisPjelly · Sep 17, 2018

This is so fucking stupid

It's going to be amazing

Lump · Sep 17, 2018

I wonder what kind of Robotnik Robin Williams would've made.

Ms.Galaxy · Sep 17, 2018

Will Dr. Robotnik be de-evolved into an egg?

Or since he's human, will he de-evolve into a

That's all I wanna know.

I still don't understand what's happening.

Like is this even real?

If this shit dethrones that mario movie I'll be damn amazed.

Kapus · Sep 17, 2018

This is just so weird

Silver-Streak · Sep 17, 2018

I'll say here what I said elsewhere:

Not only does that not look like Robotnik, that doesn't look like Jim Carey.

Are we sure this isn't some other actor?

RochHoch · Sep 17, 2018

Y'know, it makes sense for there to be a Sonic equivalent of the Super Mario Bros movie.

But the fact that we're getting it in the year 2019 is fucking insane.

How likely is this movie to be another money laundering scheme?

Depends; is there a Trump attached to the project?

This is obviously before he turns evil. Watch him shave the beard and get the iconic stache at a pivotal heel-turn moment.

Is that before or after he eats a cargo container's weight in chili dogs?

That's the wrong doctor from the video game about a short blue guy.

Besides doing a small role here and there I thought Carrey was done?

Anyways this is going to be a beautiful train wreak.

Jim Carrey with a beard looks like this these days:

It doesn't look like makeup really did much besides age him up a bit for this scene.

ScreamingMadden · Sep 17, 2018

Obligatory post involving Jim Carrey and Dr. Eggman.

That doesn't look like Dr Eggman though.

Can't wait too see Sonic as a dude in a blue Power-Rangers suit.

What if the ultimate goal of the movie is for it to be one big 90 minute meme? :o

It's fun to think about how the cost of this movie would've paid for a full Sonic Mania animated series, possibly several times over.
