LOS ANGELES — Hollywood star Jim Carrey, who essays Doctor Eggman in the
upcoming movie ‘Sonic the Hedgehog 3’, has said that the film doesn’t mark his
return because he never left the Sonic universe.
‘Sonic the Hedgehog 3’ is based on the video game series
published by Sega. It is a sequel to ‘Sonic the Hedgehog’ and ‘Sonic the
Hedgehog 2’, and is directed by Jeff Fowler from a screenplay by Pat Casey,
Josh Miller, and John Whittington, based on a story by Casey and Miller.
Reflecting on his return, Jim Carrey brought his
signature humor and charm, as he said, “I never left the Sonic universe! Where
else would I go? The Sonic universe is all-encompassing. Only a fool would try
to quantify it. I think it was Carl Sagan who said, ‘For creatures as small as
we, vastness is bearable only through the collection of 50 rings or finding a
chaos emerald.’ I’m paraphrasing, of course. Carl Sagan said something
completely different, but I’m sure he was a very big Sonic fan, so I don’t
think he’d mind”.
Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails reunite against a powerful new
adversary, Shadow, a mysterious villain with powers unlike anything they have
faced before. With their abilities outmatched in every way, Team Sonic must
seek out an unlikely alliance in hopes of stopping Shadow and protecting the
planet.
The film is packed with heart-pounding action,
laugh-out-loud moments, and high-speed thrills, this installment promises to
catapult the franchise to dazzling new heights.
The film is set to debut in theatres on January 3, 2025
in 2D and 4Dx.
