According to The Hollywood Reporter, Tim Miller, who directed the R-rated breakout smash hit Deadpool and recently left production for the sequel, will executive produce a movie based on the iconic video game character Sonic the Hedgehog. Miller's longtime collaborator Jeff Fowler will reportedly direct the film with a script from Patrick Casey and Josh Miller. There is little information regarding the plot of Sonic, but it will likely feature the hedgehog and his friends, Tails and Knuckles, as they try to stop whatever nefarious plan longtime nemesis Doctor Eggman Robotnik cooks up.
