‘Sonic 3’ Writers Remember Being Pitied After Infamous ‘Ugly Sonic’ Trailer

Writers Josh Miller and Pat Casey have been with the Sonic the Hedgehog film franchise since the series’ early days. “I think we started working on the first movie in, like, late 2017, so it’s been almost 10 years on this franchise for us, which is wild,” Casey told MovieWeb in a recent interview alongside Miller.
