- Keanu Reeves and Jim Carrey have been associated with two notable occurrences
On Christmas Eve, December 25, 2024, "Sonic the Hedgehog 3" is set to premiere in German cinemas, as announced by Paramount Pictures. The studio has unveiled the inaugural trailer for the video game adaptation, featuring both the original English version and a German interpretation. However, the pivotal casting for the third installment remains untranslated in the dubbed version.
The narrative unfolds, as the trailer reveals, with Shadow's background being analogous to Sonic's. Instead of finding a family, Shadow was left with suffering and loss, leading him down a dark path.
Uncommon appearance of Jim Carrey - doubled up
The trailer introduces an uncommon sight: Jim Carrey (62). The comedic icon has been relatively absent from the silver screen lately. Following "Sonic the Hedgehog 2" in 2022, Carrey announced his retirement from acting. However, he's made a comeback for part three.**
Carrey assumes his role once again as Dr. Robotnik, Sonic's archenemy. In the game's original, this maniacal scientist unintentionally conjured Shadow. Now, Sonic is forced to join forces with Robotnik to suppress his creation.
During Sonic's visit to Robotnik's lair, the madman is unsettlingly disheveled. Gone are his distinguished bald head and well-groomed beard, replaced by an unkempt mane. He's now tapping on his stomach with abandon.
In a coincidence, Jim Carrey makes a double appearance in the trailer, not just as Dr. Robotnik, but also as his white-bearded father.
♪ I'm not going to lie ♪, even as a fan of Sonic the Hedgehog, I was skeptical about Jim Carrey's return after his retirement announcement.However, ♪ I'm not going to lie ♪, seeing his double role in the trailer was a pleasant surprise.
