Video game movies have a relatively difficult history. The highs and lows are well documented, but the Sonic series is a source of happiness for gamers looking to see their favorite titles on the big screen. Sonic The Hedgehog 2 continues that trend of good video game movies, and we’re sitting with the cast and crew to find out how they did it.
Join Brian Shea as he sits down with Ben Schwartz, James Marsden, Colleen O’Shaughnessey and director Jeff Fowler to discuss all of the things fans should expect in Sonic The Hedgehog 2. To kick things off, Ben and James chat with Shea about what it’s like to shoot live-action scenes where the former essentially has to imagine his furry companion standing by his side. Ben also discusses some of his favorite Sonic games of all time and moments he’d like to see in a future movie.
From there, we moved on to Colleen to discuss how it felt to be joining the stacked cast for the first time. She has voiced Tails for years through games and TV series, but this is her first time portraying her character to the big screen. Finally, we sat down with Jeff Fowler to discuss bringing all of those pieces together and delivering the experience Sonic fans have been waiting for.
