I had the opportunity to catch up with director Jeff Fowler to talk about SONIC’s third installment, casting Keanu Reeves, the great work of Jim Carrey portraying 2 characters, attending CCXP in Brazil, Sonic 4, and more.
Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails reunite against a powerful new adversary, Shadow, a mysterious villain with powers unlike anything they have faced before. With their abilities outmatched in every way, Team Sonic must seek out an unlikely alliance in hopes of stopping Shadow and protecting the planet.
