Jim Carrey to play Dr. Robotnik in 'Sonic the Hedgehog'

[MCN]

What the fuck?

 

[Wag]

This is going to be so weird.

Click to shrink...

Weirder than The Grinch?

 

[Coricus]

Sonic sucks, but that's a good role for him to play. Hopefully the movie will be watchable.

Considering the constant deluge of these types of asides are why I can't follow the Sonic fandom anymore, do you think you could do me a favor sir and at least keep it off EtcetERA? It's like a little driveby nestled into an otherwise perfectly serviceable post.

 

[Daschiel]

This movie is going to be a train wreck.

So it's gonna be fateful to the material(any Sonic game lol)

 

[Midramble]

He'll be live action

Instantly sold

I'm not a part of the Sonic fandom, but sure. No problem.

Click to shrink...

Yep, and I for one am 100% here for it.

 

[AztecComplex]

The latter.

Click to shrink...

Oh God. Theres no way this movie is good.

 

[SpankyDoodle]

I cannot wait for set pictures from this movie, oh my god

 

[Deleted member 17388]

Who's writing?
Who is directing... this?

 

[Alienous]

I hope he's method acting the role. Even when the movie is inevitably shit the behind the scenes footage will be legendary.

Someone tell him Robotnik was inspired by Theodore Roosevelt.

Thank you, honestly. Sonic threads, fan sites, and so on are basically a mishmash of people outside the fandom coming exclusively to make snark and people in the fandom acting like they really aren't and are only just there to long term stir things up, so I get some rather unfortunate flashbacks to them every time the sentiment pops up in a little snippet like that.

 

[Silencio]

 

[Sanjuro]

If they call him Eggman, I'm out.

 

[whatsinaname]

I have realised I would pay to watch a Nicholas Cage live action Sonic.

 

[NoName999]

So Sonic is a troublesome juvenile delinquent and Eggman is Grinch?

'kay?

 

[Raysoul]

Sonic: You stand a little chance against me!

Eggman:

 

[okayfrog]

I feel like we're long due for more crap movies like this. Bring it on.

 

[Sanjuro]

John Cena would be an awesome Sonic.

 

[Beedig]

Jim Carrey holding all 7 chaos emeralds in his arms

 

[CesareNorrez]

Have him paint the poster while they're at it.

 

[PSqueak]

....

Robotnik better be CGI then, because Jim Carrey is ill fitted for a Live action Robotnik...

He'll be live action

Click to shrink...

...fuck.

 

[DJMicLuv]

At first I thought...What the actually living and breathing fuck!?!?
Then I thought...actually, that's not such a bad idea.

 

[nintendoman58]

WHAT THE FUCK

 

[neon/drifter]

This is likely the best news outta this movie so far!

 

[MaverickHunterX]

Wait all. Think about this for a sec.

Carrey wearing a fat suit ala Nutty Professor/Big Mommas House, given a face/head like Teddy Roosevelt, with the same voice he used in the Grinch.

It...might work...

 

[RedMercury]

It's not too late to stop this train

 

[MMarston]

He'll be live action

[Sacul64]

Better be. Not haveing Mike Pollok voice a cg robotnic would be as bad as not allowing Charles Martine to voice Mario in His movie.

 

[Kid Heart]

I thought this movie would be awful. Now I can't wait to watch it.

Bring on the insanity Carrey!

 

[Fulminator]

Wait they are making a live action Sonic????

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, WHY!?

 

[nintendoman58]

Click to shrink...

BECAUSE I ASKED FOR IT

THAT'S WHY

 

[Ogodei]

And of course, Barack Obama will reprise his role as Sonic, I assume

Click to shrink...

Sonic chuckled; "you mean the affordable care act?"

 

[Crossing Eden]

This is like that time they cast Willem Dafoe to play Ryuk

 

[B4mv]

I officially can't wait to see this trainwreck.

 

[Deleted member 32822]

Eggman > Robotnik

*Shadow

It's like you're not even a real fan.

 

[M. Wallace]

Can't be worse than TLJ

 

[Spinluck]

Too late to make it an animated film eh?

This film will have a bunch of meme potential.

 

[VorpalNonsense]

When I thought this was an animated movie, I read this news and I was totally into it.

Now I'm reading about some live action shit and now I'm scared of this project.

 

[Deleted member 37342]

I was already going to see this to witness the trainwreck unfold, but now it is a must see. I would never have guessed Jim Carrey for Robotnik.

 

[Hollywood Duo]

Well I'm sold. How weird.

 

[LifeLine]

Live action? Wat

 

[T-Min]

It's starting to sound more and more like a horribly-dated 90s kids movie.

Hoping for a beautiful train-wreck.

 

[spookyduzt]

If they call him Eggman, I'm out.

Click to shrink...

Same.

 

[Bohemian]

Jim Broadbent circa 2001 Moulin Rouge would have been perfect.

 

[shaneo632]

Lmao I am so fucking IN

 

[rsfour]

Will he be an anti vaxxer kind of doctor?

 

[Polioliolio]

Well now I'm in.

 

[Deleted member 18568]

This is going to surprise everyone and be unexpectedly great, like Lord & Miller's The LEGO Movie.
