From a video game to an amazing, fun, action-packed movie - Sonic the Hedgehog has been leveling up! Creating these films brought on a ton of nostalgia and some pretty cool gear while the filming crew literally broke new ground. In the sequel, Jim Carrey spent his fair share of time rigged up and flying high while James Marsden got upgraded to maybe the most intense cruise control we’ve ever seen!
The Sonic crew expanded for the sequel bringing Knuckles and Tails to life, which meant we got even more, custom-made stand-in statues for filming - including the classic solo floating head for a few shots. Let’s just say you’ve never seen a hedgehog that looked like this before. While there were full models made - when it came to action sequences, a special and kind of abstract version of each of them came to set.
Need a spaceship? A pretty epic one was on the set to help create the perfect environment for this adventurous flick. Get Jim Carrey and Ben Schwartz working on a movie - there is bound to be a whole load of improv and we can guarantee - there was. Thanks to these spontaneous moments, we wound up getting one very special, hip-gyration-filled dance sequence - intrigued yet? While Ben Schwartz played the leading role - the actor didn’t do a day on set! Schwartz was only needed for voice and motion capture so all his action happened solo - but not to worry - every performance is still epic.
