Sonic the Hedgehog (lost original CCXP trailer for action-comedy film based on game franchise; 2018)
Sonic the Hedgehog is an action-comedy film based on the video game franchise of the same name. The movie was distributed by Paramount Pictures and premiered on February 14th, 2020. An early trailer revealed at CinemaCon 2019 has not resurfaced since its preview at the event.
Background
Around early 2019, CinemaCon 2019 began, lasting for 3 days, starting on April 1st and ending on April 4th and taking place in Las Vegas. For 3 days, many trailers and footage of upcoming movies were shown, one of which being Sonic the Hedgehog.
The trailer showcased an early version of the other trailer which is available to the public, the only difference being that it features a slightly different design of Sonic, and the backgrounds are slightly different, as well as the trailer featuring different music ("Everybody Dance Now" plays for a portion of the trailer, though in the other trailer, "Gangsta's Paradise" plays the entire trailer). Aside from those, the plot is merely the same and no other differences are noticeable.[1]
After being shown at CinemaCon, the trailer was finalized for public viewing, with some differences being made. The trailer was met with a handful of criticism, mainly because of the design used for Sonic.[2] The trailer and movie were later fully revised to include a better design for Sonic, pushing the release date forward.
Availability
No footage of the trailer has been leaked to the public, possibly due to the restriction of recording the event, though it may have to do with other reasons. It was discovered that the trailer from CCXP was formerly available on Twitter, though it was taken down by the copyright holders.[3] As of now, only a few pictures, along with some concept art, and a description of the full trailer, have resurfaced.
