Sonic the Hedgehog will speed his way into theatres in just about one month's time. The upcoming, live-action movie is based on the iconic and popular video game franchise of the same name and stars Ben Schwartz as the voice of the titular character. Jim Carrey plays Dr. Robotnik, James Marsden and Tika Sumpter play Tom and Maddie Wachowski while Jeff Fowler directs.
Recently, TV spots for the upcoming, live-action video game movie have begun to surface online — what with its release coming soon. In one of the newest ones, we get to see Sonic the Hedgehog get his iconic, red shoes. It seems that he will begin the movie alone and wearing a raggedy pair of sneakers. However, he'll be gifted a snazzy new pair by Tom and Maddie's daughter.
As well, there's new footage of the speedster racing through a city and taking on Dr. Robotnik's nefarious drones as well as the big bad himself. Check it out below (via

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. The film also stars Tika Sumpter and Ben Schwartz as the voice of Sonic.
