Alli Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 1 minute ago, That One Guy said: Why wouldn't they greenlight Gemini Man? Sounds great on paper. It's a high concept Will Smith sci-fi action movie from a two-time Oscar-winning director. yeah, i was exited for GM but after the trailer i don't know anymore. it looks so dated. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galactic Specter Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 This movie is obviously going to bomb in every sense, why throw more money at it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweeneySwift Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 The damage is probably done here regardless of if the change is for the better. Reported budget of this was already apparently $90mil, that's obviously going to balloon by changing the entire CG of the main character, and even if it's good the director's already on record as admitting to a fuckup with the project that required going back to the drawing board. As much as "listening to the audience" is deservedly championed as the right thing to do, there are some who will be turned off by hearing the creator admit to making a mistake months before it's even released, and I can definitely believe that will have a noticeable effect on its chances of having a good box office run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perfundle Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Now I wonder if Paramount is going to pull this trailer from theaters until they fix Sonic's design. Many moviegoers don't watch trailers online, and their first exposure to him will be at the theaters. These people would also not know that the director has vowed to fix the design, and if they hate it they're not going to give the movie a second chance.

Tinalera Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 I understand this is 6 months to opening. Unless they already have footage with another model that they changed to the current one ( possible but doubtful) thats a lot of rush time that could look sloppy. Im surprised they didnt release this as a teaser early in production, would have had more time to fix it) Be interesting to see the results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stealthyfrog Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Paramount needs to delay the movie. A delay would give the animation team more time to fix Sonic's design and lower costs. It's not like Sonic is holding on to a great date, anyway. Frozen 2 would have steamrolled it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are stubborn beyond belief, and when you're already delusional enough you already found yourself spending damn near $100mil on a Sonic film, what's more money burnt at that point if you think 1) there's only one problem and 2) money will fix that one problem? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGlass2 Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Sonic is already making movie history. And this is great news, the horrible design has to go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaze Heatnix Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 The director has had feedback for a long time. I'm pretty sure the trailer probably had a old draft that they released to test the reactions. It's possible that they have a new design already set to be released in a new trailer. Once it gets released, people will claim it was fixed. Perhaps they've worked on that for a long time.

OdinSon2k14 Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Former Sega phanatic here...like...that's...not Sonic...the proportions are wrong... The real Sonic's head is huge, and makes up like 50% of his body. Then you have a little torso, with arms and legs. All his friends are shaped that way too. This Sonic, in this movie, has a perfectly proportioned, human-like body 🤔. They added a foot to his torso and limbs, so he looks more human... Eggman isnt rotund, he's 99 pounds...I dont know about this... The CGI graphics look great though! But this Sonic re-imagining is likely not gonna go over well...

Yandereprime101189 Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Just have Sonic be inexplicably a 16-bit animated character throughout the entire movie or just a 2D animated character Or just take the Wreck it Ralph model of the character, throw it in there and call it a day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Panda Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 How did that design get approved in the first place? Was the entire team so obtuse as to not say, “That looks like trash”? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Au contraire, I'm seeing a lot of good reactions to a director being willing to listen to the fans and not blindly sticking with a direction that is wrong.
