Sonic the Hedgehog director Jeff Fowler posted a message of gratitude for the support after revealing the speedster’s redesign.
Yesterday, Paramount released a new Sonic the Hedgehog trailer that revealed the redesign of the titular speedster. While moviegoers had mixed thoughts on the decision to redesign Sonic after the film has already in the post-production phase, most approved of the more faithful look for the blue hedgehog seen in the most recent preview.
Today, Sonic the Hedgehog director Jeff Fowler posted a message on his official Twitter account thanking fans for the positive reactions the filmmakers have received in response to the latest trailer. At the end of his post, Fowler promised fans there is more to come before Sonic the Hedgehog hits theaters in early 2020.

Here is the official synopsis for the Sonic the Hedgehog:
SONIC THE HEDGEHOG is a live-action adventure comedy based on the global blockbuster video game franchise from Sega that centres on the infamously brash bright blue hedgehog. The film follows the (mis)adventures of Sonic as he navigates the complexities of life on Earth with his newfound – human – best friend Tom Wachowski (James Marsden). Sonic and Tom join forces to try and stop the villainous Dr. Robotnik (Jim Carrey) from capturing Sonic and using his immense powers for world domination.
Directed by Jeff Fowler from a script written by Patrick Casey, Josh Miller, and Oren Uziel, Sonic the Hedgehog features the voice talent of Ben Schwartz as the titular character and stars James Marsden as sheriff Tom Wachowski, Jim Carrey as Dr. Ivo Robotnik, Neal McDonough as US Army Major Bennington, Tika Sumpter as Mrs. Wachowski, Lee Majdoub as Stone, and Frank C. Turner as Crazy Carl. Adam Pally, Natasha Rothwell, Debs Howard, and Elfina Luk also star in undisclosed roles.
Sonic the Hedgehog is scheduled to be released in theaters on February 14, 2020.
