Earlier today, Yuji Naka, former head of Sonic Team and series co-creator, teased the possibility of a Sonic film in development. The tweet posted is in Japanese though, and many translators come up with all different kinds of results. Danny Russell, a japan based reporter helping out TSSZ News posted an accurate translation of Mr. Naka's tweet.

"Marza Animation Planet is made up of members from VE R&D (http://sega.jp/corp/.../csjob/ve.shtml), which is a division he had a hand in creating. It looks like they’re working on a Sonic movie. Their offices seem nice, and they have a screening room / theatre there." (Source: TSSZ)

Who those who might have forgot, Marza Animation Studios (formerly Sega VE Animation Studio) is the same team that produced the Sonic: Night of the Werehog short and also helped out on the CGI work in Generations, Colors, and more. Many other translations also state that Mr. Naka is simply working on 'Sonic-related footage'. So, do we have a film on its way to the big screen, another 15-minute short, or CGI work on the next Sonic title? Your guess is as good as mine.

Great....now I'm hopeful again.

God I hate Naka! Hes like the George Lucas of the game industry, taking pretty much all the credit for the creation of the franchise and then leading the said franchise to ruin and mockery by the public AND still gets treated like some bullshit auteur by the mass; which only proceeds to fuel his already large and inflated ego!

[Ther2view]

I hope it's a movie. Even though I'm a SatAM fan (Obviously.) I do like some of Sega Sonic's stuff. I just hope they hire professionals outside of Sega to write it.

It always seems like you always have something negative to say...

Its probably due to the fact that I generally try to avoid Sonic for my mental health nowadays, hoping that when I look at the franchise again the forecast will be fore the better, so I really only seems like I comment when it seems things are going to get worse.

It also dosen't help the that my current situation right now is full of mental and emotional hazards and so when I latch onto a series with promise and said promise fails to materialize, well it just drains me and with it the chance for some wonderful escapism.
Belive me when I say that this isn't the only series that frustrates me right now *cough*Adventure Time*cough*

[RedAuthar]

Adventure Time failed the moment it came into existence.

[Ther2view]

Amen, Red.

Booooooooooooooooooo!(care to explain why!)

[Inhibitor]

I hate that show, lol.

[Gojira007]

Wow, people who hate "Adventure Time"? I was fairly certain those didn't exist...oh well. Their loss, I s'pose.

...hm? A possible new "Sonic" movie? Eh...I'll believe it when I see it, personally.

Hate to break it to ya, but there's a good chance you'll stumble upon something Sonic-related quite frequently, here. Who'da thunk it?

I mean in the sense of not getting too invested in Either the fandom or the series; checking in once in awhile is all I really do.

According to the Spanish Sonic site Sonic Paradise, the movie's not happening:

UPDATE: We have a faithful translation and reliable thanks to our partners and Miles_Wolf NoKu, which clarifies that no film on the way ... for now.

Today we visited the firm / company Marza Animation Planet. Originally the Department of Research and Development Sega VE after the split of the company became independent and, therefore, also involved in assembly / creation of the animated Sonic (the cinematics of games). At present it seems that also engage to películas.En reality, I was also involved in the creation of the Department of VE research and development so I want to become the Pixar of Japan and get great work out one after another.

It seems that it was a false alarm and are not making a Sonic movie right now. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused our readers. We will be alert to any movement that might be in the future about it and report it as soon as possible.

As a Sonic and SatAM fan, I am not that impress at all. I'm sure of it it'll turn out like the 3D movie version of Astro Boy. Remember that?

I use to have my own plans to someday make my own tv series. But, Sega will not listen to thrid parties like me or anyone.

It the movie does come true, I'll watch it, but I won't enjoy it. If it's based of the SatAM version! I hope.

Well not to go off topic, but to answer your questions.
I do not like adventure time because it's more dumb jokes then plot. Like Spongebob, Flapjack, Cow and Chicken, and a bunch of other shows I didn't like. Secondly about the time it came into existence a few shows I liked were being taken off the air. So...it had really bad timing.

[DaddlerTheDalek]

Sonic Movie + False Alarm = Me Mad!

[Inhibitor]

Hey, it was titled 'New Sonic Film In the WORKS?' for a reason, lol.

[saber16]

False alarm? So it's not happening?

[Gojira007]

No one's heard anything new about it since January; dunno if that means it's "not happening" definitively, but it doesn't seem to speak positively for its chance. Still, take my word with a grain of salt; I was never terribly optimistic it would happen anyway, and remain as such.
