Where did you hear this rumour, may I ask? I just did a quick cursory search and couldn't find anything new.

 

Campea mentioned it. Like I said, he's the only one who mentioned it (but I do not hang around Sonic movie rumor sites except Twitter and here, maybe someone else did), but he's been right sometimes in the past, so grain of salt.

Alright, thanks! I'll check later.

 

Anyway, the panels begin today with Warner's at 4 PM PT, in 10 hours and 3 minutes from now. Unfortunately that's 2 AM for me so I most likely won't be able to follow it.

I remember right after Sonic 2 came out that someone from the studio was teasing a big name for Shadow for the third movie that they were working on. They were really making it seem like a big deal. My impression at the time was that they talked about it like it was an A list celebrity type of thing. But it's been radio silence since that point. 

 

It was especially weird since voice roles barely move the needle for audience interest these days. Almost every big name has taken a random animated role. The only person that I could see Paramount land that would legitimately be someone that makes headlines is Tom Cruise, and I don't think he'd take it on.

And isn't he with Warner now anyway? I have a feeling that he did not take Dead Reckoning's underperformance very well. Anyway, the Shadow voice hype seems more targeted towards the core Sonic fans than anything. The movie otherwise shouldn't be a difficult sell as long as it's on par with the previous ones.

 

Also, @Morieris, that rumour you mentioned is unfortunately not a new revelation, and has been circulating for months without a real source. And Campea sounded like he was simply speculating. I don't think he knows anything there. I'd temper expectations and not expect anything more than a quick exclusive preview for the attendees if I were you, as the movie just wrapped filming, and there is a big outside party in Sega who likely will want to wait until either Sonic's 33rd anniversary in June or Comic-Con in July to start marketing it.

 

Anyway, a quick Joker 2 preview just dropped, announcing the full trailer for 6:30 PM PT, after Warner's panel tonight:

Do they usually release info about movies that are not in production yet? For example, do you think they'll share some info about that Inarritu/Cruise movie?

Can any of the lovely people on this forum link those liveblogs to follow please?

Not really, this is more to get theater owners hyped for imminent product that they're going to be showing

[AniNate]

If they were to share anything about a movie in pre-prod it'd likely be a franchise sequel. 

[AniNate]

So are those crunchyroll releases supposed to be wide daily 2+ week things or are they just more fathom event type deals?

If Mickey 17 is there I definitely think it's possible Marvel brings Cap 4 with Deadpool. It's not like it can go next year.
