Paramount Pictures is working to redesign the iconic character after fan backlash.Paramount PicturesOn Friday, director Jeff Fowler tweeted that the film, based on the "Sonic the Hedgehog" video games, would not be released until February 14, 2020. The film was previously set to be released in November of this year.
Just days after releasing the first official trailer for the movie in late April, Fowler took to social media to try and assuage disgruntled fans who felt the depiction of the iconic speedy blue hedgehog wasn't up to par. Sonic's facial features, including human-like teeth, and his body proportions were deemed inconsistent with the Sonic they grew up with in the '90s."You aren't happy with the design & you want changes," he wrote on Twitter at the time. "It's going to happen. Everyone at Paramount & Sega are fully committed to making this character the BEST he can be.
The filming budget for "Sonic" is estimated to be around $90 million. It's unclear how much Paramount will spend to redesign the title character.
