Sonic Movie 3 Is A Go! And So Is A Live-Action Spinoff Series With Knuckles!

It's now September. Filming will be starting in the UK soon. I'm not sure if anybody shared this before. This was announced not too long ago. The only scenes they will be able to filmed are the ones with only the CGI characters (Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Shadow, and maybe a few more characters like Amy and Rouge.)

There are some big projects still shooting in the UK – Paddington In Peru is ongoing without US actor Rachel Zegler; sources say Paramount’s Sonic The Hedgehog 3 is gearing up to shoot, not involving actors from September, using a splinter unit to capture plate shots; and Netflix also has some series in production. But there isn’t enough to go around.

Also, I found a few more people working on the movie.:

So, it's look like Sonic 3 had just already begin filming without actors. However, good news! The writers' strike is going to end.

However, unfortunately, there is no deal yet for the actors. So, the actors are still going on strike. Hopefully, it will end soon too.

One of the actors from the Knuckles show is also going in the movie as a party guest. The guy will also play a bowler in the show.:

Somebody in London already saw a filming set in Canary Wharf. He also saw some people dressed as G.U.N. soldiers. Here are some set photos of some G.U.N. Trucks and some Japanese police cars taken by sgtbilkotim from Twitter. It’s look like Sonic 3 might take place in Japan?

Now the fun part beginns.

Just found some more people working on the movie.:

Also, an ad of the Sonic 3 logo was spotted at Brand Licensing Europe which just already ended.:

Also, an company named PCO Group had already have some Sonic 3 products listed on their website.:

Not sure if this guy is reliable. He said that there will be something about Sonic 3 shown at ShowEast which I'm assume it could be a title announcement.

That's a bit too early to show off Sonic 3, isn't it?  Especially since the movie isn't coming out until 2024.

Looks like the rumors are true. We will get our first look of Sonic 3 (Probably likely a title announcement like they did for Sonic 2.) at ShowEast starting tomorrow.:

Yeah, it's a little too early for a trailer since they just start filming a few months ago. They could possibly just show the title announcement there. I will be surprised if they show some footage there.

So, they didn't show anything about the movie publicly. It was shown behind close doors. Nobody is allowed to record or talk about it. Hopefully, they will show it publicly soon.:

Also, here are some crew members that are working on the movie.:

Also, JAKKS Pacific is confirmed to work on toys for the movie. Also, there will be costumes. All of these are set to come out late next year.:

Also, the strike is over now! Glad to see it is over. Now, the actors can start filming for Sonic 3.:

Just found a crew member working on the movie. He have been working on the movie since July.:

Oh, nice! Glad to see the confirmation that the Knuckles TV show will take place after the events of Sonic 2 and before Sonic 3. So, it's not a prequel, but will focus mostly on Knuckles. Maybe we will see a little of Sonic, Tails, and some of the human characters. 

I guess it make sense because it will save a lot of screentime for the third movie and won't have to waste screentime on introducing new characters and focus on what's important for the third movie. So, the TV show might take care of that. So, it's possible we will see Amy, Rouge, and Metal Sonic getting introduced in this TV show instead.

If the TV show is live action/CGI hybrid like the other two movies, maybe they could have the setting take place in Boston or NYC. Pretty much just like Sonic 2 did have Seattle and the first movie have San Francisco. Also, it's possible they could go back to San Francisco in the third movie, since they are planning to bring a lot of elements from Sonic Adventure 2.

Vancouver have been used as a stand in for Boston and NYC which Station Square and Empire City is probably based on. I know none of these pictures have nothing to do with Sonic, but I'm just using these as examples of Vancouver being as a stand in for Boston and NYC.:

Well... I'm kinda upset that they used San Fransisco and Seattle for the first 2 because either one of them makes a PERFECT city escape!

So, a new teaser picture just dropped. I wonder if the place in the background is the Space Colony Ark or the place where Shadow was stored in the Sonic 2 post credits scene?

Also, some new crew members working on the movie.:

Well, I heard there is a rumor they might be filming in LA. Several crew members in LA were listed in crew of Sonic 3 on IMDb. Since IMDb isn't accurate, we will have to wait to see if the filming in LA is true.

It's possible they could used LA as a stand-in for San Francisco or maybe the movie will take place in LA this time? I don't know.

Here are a few more crew members working on the movie.:

Also, we should expect filming to continued into the new year. I hear that the production will be moving to Norway and then LA (Los Angeles). Paramount is keeping this tight lipped.

So, Tika said that we will be getting some news about Sonic 3 and Knuckles very soon.:

I think the info is coming very soon. But you are going to be extremely happy. I think there's a lot coming, so just you wait. That's all I got for you. They'll fire me! [Laughs]

Just found this person who have a role in the movie. He will play a G-Man which is some kind of government (G.U.N.) agent?

Here are some infomation about the JAKKS Pacific products and a person working on Sonic 3 that I found. The information about the products are from Target store system. They all set to go on sale this October.:

Here is a crew member who is working on the movie that I found. He is a Data Wrangler for the movie.:

So, apparently, Krysten Ritter is reportedly casted for the movie. Maybe she will play Rouge or a G.U.N. Agent similar to Topaz from Sonic X?

Also, some of the Knuckles crew members did return to work on the movie.:

She could be Rouge or Amy. Maybe somebody else. 

Junkie XL is returning to work on Sonic 3 according to Film Music Reporter.:

Also, the new Sonic x Shadow Generations will be released in the Fall which is just in time for the movie's release in December. The game is probably capitalize on the movie.:

Here we go!

That Live and Learn reference, hell yeah, dude.

Jim is back!

Good to see him back!

Also, some new cast members for the movie. It's seem that Krysten Ritter rumor is true. Also, I think that little girl is playing Maria and some international versions of the logos (Thai, Italian, and Mexican).:

The logo is pretty cool. Wild that we went from Sonic 2 to Adventure 2, but then again, these movies barely followed the games anyways, which is why I think Sonic 3 will veeeery loosely adapt SA2. It will have Maria, Gerald, maybe even Rouge and ARK, but I doubt it'll follow the exact script, eventhough it already works fine like one, unlike Sonic 1/2 (the games)... I guess Chaos and Tikal might appear in Sonic 4.. If it happens.

Here are the official Hong Kong and Korean Sonic 3 logos posted by Paramount Pictures Hong Kong and Paramount Pictures Korea.:
