[Video] It Took Long Enough, But Someone Turned ‘Sonic’ into a Horror Movie Trailer
The talk of the internet last week was the trailer for Paramount’s Sonic the Hedgehog, the first live-action movie adaptation of the Sega video game franchise. The trailer was criticized primarily, though among other things, for the design of Sonic himself, and the reaction was so widely negative that the director has agreed to go back in and change the look entirely.
While we wait, YouTube’s n00bmaster69 (lol) just re-edited the Sonic trailer to present it as a horror movie, using clips from BrightBurn to achieve his vision of a demonic Sonic.
The trailer is titled Sonic.exe, a reference to the creepypasta story about a teen who encounters a series of paranormal episodes while playing a modified PC port of Sonic.
Speaking of which, Cavity Colors made a Sonic/Critters mashup poster you have to see!
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
