Paramount expands the Sonic and Transformers franchises


Historic film production company Paramount Pictures has an interesting program that includes the expansion of two franchises. Below all the info.


The news comes directly from the social media accounts of the producer, which read the programming of the third chapter of the hedgehog of the house Sega and the new productions linked to the franchise owned by Hasbro.

The hybrid animation/live-action film Sonic the Hedgehog 2 [news] is expected in Italian theaters this spring, the April 8 but before its release the third title has already been planned, as the tweet below is confirmed...



In addition to the film productions, Paramount also announced a live-action series focusing on the character Knuckles (we meet in the second film): "We are happy to announce the third film adaptation of Sonic and the first live-action series by Paramount Plus. The two projects are in the works", said Haruki Satomi, CEO of Sega Corporation.


Moving on to the Transformers franchise, the next theatrical film will be released in 2023 and will be titled Transformers: Rise of the Beasts. At the helm of this new chapter we find the young Steven Caple Jr. (Creed II), while the historical director of the franchise, Michael Bay, will be present only as a producer.

It will be only the first chapter of a new trilogy already planned to which will be added a new animated series for Nickelodeon arriving this fall and, in 2024, also announced the first feature film of the Transformers made entirely with CG animations which will be distributed exclusively on the Paramount+ streaming platform.
