After settling in Green Hills, Sonic is ready for more freedom, and Tom and Maddie agree to leave him home while they go on vacation. But, no sooner are they gone, when Dr. Robotnik comes back, this time with a new partner, Knuckles, in search for an emerald that has the power to both build and destroy civilizations. Sonic teams up with his own sidekick, Tails, and together they embark on a journey to find the emerald before it falls into the wrong hands. Being directed by Jeff Fowler, and starring Jim Carrey, James Marsden, and Ben Schwartz.

I have to assume James Marsden will probably be sidelined for only a bit at the beginning, right? Kinda crappy if it is for the majority of the movie.

Sidelining Marsden is good, actually. Focus on what makes Sonic Sonic, bring in more characters and locations from that universe. This sounds great.

James Marsden's character was a cop in the previous movie so maybe that's why they seem to be downplaying him more.

Anyways this sounds fine, but my one concern is how they say they're searching for "an emerald", which implies that there isn't seven of them as usual.

This is, unless they're just talking about the master emerald...

I wonder if it's the Master Emerald rather than the Chaos Emeralds.

Angel Island???

I know there was that trope of "a portal in the sky" for a lot of movies in the past decade, but honestly, I could see this work in a way to bring in Angel Island like, maybe crashing down from floating on earth to crashing on it... or something. Not sure if the island will even go past like the epilogue portion, though (especially if it is the master emerald already missing).

James Marsden and Tika Sumpter were a pretty integral human element in the first movie, along with Robotnik. This could spell bad news for the film the more and more 'Sanic' it gets.

Sonic 3's plot? Yes, please.

I'm guessing this also means there's going to be only one chaos emerald in this universe, because I can't imagine that they'd bring in the master emerald first.

Knuckles is there so they might just be folding the Chaos Emeralds into the Master Emerald.

What are the chances of seeing Super Sonic in this? Give me Super Sonic, and I'll buy multiple tickets.

I want to know why people want James Marsdens character as main sidekick back over Freakin Tails.

Damn I mean I actually liked the first one. You're telling me this is gonna be Sonic 3??? Can't wait!

Also am I missing something? I didn't find James all that appealing.

You joke, but I can absolutely see something like that.
I'm not joking, that's actually what I expect! They aren't going to keep holding off on Shadow forever; beyond the classic cast he's by far the most popular character in the series.

They could be searching for one Chaos Emerald and save the discovery of the rest for the inevitable third film; especially if they wanted to lightly adapt either of the Adventure games.

Or it's just the Master Emerald.

Jeff Fowler mentioned Super Sonic and Chaos Emeralds as something they'd want to save for sequels, intentionally keeping it simple with just Sonic vs Robotnik in the first film.

Knuckles was leaked on set a while ago, so not terribly surprising (Sonic 2 doesn't have much of a plot to work with). They'll obviously tease Shadow for the third movie.

It's genuinely hilarious that folks are taking issue with the movie potentially not having 7 McGuffin devices.

Holy hell, I can't even imagine that screenplay.

I don't think James will be just a cameo... we will prob follow him throughout multiple scenes in the movie all leading to the inevitable teamup.

Potentially getting a live action movie adaptation of Sonic 3 before Sega can figure out a re-release of the 1994 game. What a timeline.
