Jim Carrey Comments On The Sonic Film’s Delay And Redesign

The legendary actor isn't too sure if the delay was a good move.

When the trailer for the live action Sonic the Hedgehog film dropped, it just wasn’t what many were expecting. The real world based plot and action was jarring, but the big thing that stuck out was the character’s design that many did not like. It was delayed because of that, something that the film’s director thinks will please fans. Someone who isn’t so sure is the movie’s biggest actor, Jim Carrey.

In a presentation for the Television Critics Association, Carrey said he wasn’t sure if the delay and redesign was really the best move. Carrey has gotten to be a bit of mystic in his speech over the last few years, but he basically says that the design wasn’t that bad and that submitting to a vocal backlash may end up just making things worse for the film at the end.

“I don’t know quite how I feel about the audience being in on the creation of it,” he said. “We’ll see what that entails because sometimes you find that the collective consciousness decides it wants something and then when it gets it, ‘I just wanted it, I didn’t care about it. I just jumped on the bandwagon.’ Ownership of anything is going out the window for all of us.”

Who really knows. In the end, it’ll all come down to whether this film is good to begin with. We’ll have to wait for February of next year to find out. And if it’s not, well, there’s always 2021 for Sonic to have his day, I guess.
