Paramount Pictures takes fans behind the scenes of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 with the “Casting a Shadow” featurette. The minute-long video features Keanu Reeves in the recording booth, getting into character as the main villain. “For 50 years, Shadow’s been in a state of suspended animation,” says Reeves, adding, “He’s coming out of it seeking revenge.”
Jim Carrey, the voice of Dr. Robotnik, describes Shadow as having a “sympathetic, brooding kind of darkness that Keanu has mastered so brilliantly.” Ben Schwartz, the voice of Sonic, and Idris Elba, the voice of Knuckles, also share their thoughts on Shadow in the video.
The cast also includes James Marsden, Tika Sumpter, Colleen O’Shaughnessey, Natasha Rothwell, Shemar Moore, Adam Pally, and Lee Majdoub. Newcomers to the film franchise include Alyla Browne and Krysten Ritter.
“Sonic the Hedgehog returns to the big screen this holiday season in his most thrilling adventure yet. Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails reunite against a powerful new adversary, Shadow, a mysterious villain with powers unlike anything they have faced before,” reads Paramount Pictures’ synopsis. “With their abilities outmatched in every way, Team Sonic must seek out an unlikely alliance in hopes of stopping Shadow and protecting the planet.”
Jeff Fowler directs from a screenplay by Pat Casey, Josh Miller, and John Whittington. Neal H. Moritz, Toby Ascher, Toru Nakahara, and Hitoshi Okuno serve as producers. Executive producers include Haruki Satomi, Shuji Utsumi, Yukio Sugino, Jeff Fowler, Tommy Gormley, and Tim Miller.
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 opens in theaters on December 20, 2024.
