“Jeff is an incredible director with strong story instincts. The world of Sonic presents the perfect opportunity for him to leverage his experience in animation to bring new dimension to this iconic character.”
The popular video game franchise was previously adapted into several animated series, starting with 1993’s “Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog,” and he also made an authorized cameo appearance in the Disney hit Wreck-It Ralph.
Currently, there is no release date for the film but more news is expected to start coming out as the project heads into production.
