Jim Carrey is a familiar name to most people, even those who don't know some of his work. He's had a successful run in stand-up comedy, and he's become one of those actors who seems to be able to take on any role without any issues. As his career has gone on, he's gained a dedicated fan base who have acknowledged his ability at acting.

Given that he started out in comedy, he got placed in many roles of the same genre. However, what's become obvious is that Carrey can be a villain, a central comedy character, or even a role that requires deep, meaningful acting. Drawing up a list of his best performances highlights the range that Carrey has achieved.

Although his work extends much further than erotic films nowadays, Shinji Imaoka’s filmography mostly consists of pinku movies, as part of the latest (and probably the last) group of directors dealing with the category, the Seven Lucky Gods. His productions, however, differ significantly from the rest in the category, particularly due to their absurdly comedic sense and the elements of fantasy/horror, both of which are exemplified in “Uncle’s Paradise”

Uncle Takashi suddenly appears in the small city his nephew, squid-fishing Haru, is living, and along with him brings his peculiar set of issues: he does not sleep at night, because he always gets horrific nightmares when he does, while when he is awake, he is constantly horny. Expectedly, his appearance has a true impact on local women,...

This marks the fourth year that the entire membership of the academy can take part in the nomination stage of the Animated Feature Oscar race. Previously, only select members of the Short Films and Feature Animation Branch and invited members from the other branches could serve on the committee that decided the nominees. Collectively, the committee tended to favor traditional and stop-motion films over CG fare. (Scroll down for the most up-to-date 2021 Oscars predictions for Best Animated Feature.)

Mandatory attendance at screenings has been dropped and voters who want to be on the nominations committee need only attest to having seen all the contenders at theaters or screenings or by way of the the academy’s streaming site.

And the method of determining the nominees has been changed. Gone is the system where voters scored a film from 6 (poor) to 10 (excellent) with only those movies meriting an average mark of...

Known as one of the “Four Heavenly Kings of Pink” director Hisayasu Sato has adapted an exploitation-like style to his work while tackling subjects such as alienation, urbanization and the human condition within a modern, highly technologized world. Ten years before Shinya Tsukamoto’s “A Snake of June” would deal with similar themes, Sato’s 1992 effort “An Aria on Gazes”, also known as “The Bedroom”, explored the connection between modernity, technology and (sexual) obsession. Thus, the films, while still maintaining an exploitation scaffolding, so to speak, is more like a study on the concept of fetish, how observation through technology has affected our lives.

The story revolves around Kyoko (Kiyomi Ito) who is married to Akihito (Mineo Sugiura), a salaryman that has been rejecting her and her idea of leading a normal family life. Saddened by his behavior, Kyoko becomes...

Following fan backlash over the depiction of the beloved character in the original trailer for the film, a newly redesigned version of the character graces the latest trailer and poster for the upcoming Sonic The Hedgehog feature.

Based on the global blockbuster videogame franchise from Sega, Sonic The Hedgehog tells the story of the world’s speediest hedgehog as he embraces his new home on Earth. In this live-action adventure comedy, Sonic and his new best friend Tom (James Marsden) team up to defend the planet from the evil genius Dr. Robotnik (Jim Carrey) and his plans for world domination. The family-friendly film also stars Tika Sumpter and Ben Schwartz as the voice of Sonic.

Sonic the Hedgehog gets a digital makeover in the new trailer for the film based on the hit Sega videogame series.

The live-action film, originally set for release on Nov. 8, was pushed back three months to Feb. 14, 2020, after online outcry over the look of the title character in the first trailer for the film that dropped last spring. Fans of the video game were highly critical of the speedy blue hedgehog’s fur, his eyes and most notably his human-looking teeth — which seem much less distracting in the new footage.

The new trailer for “Sonic the Hedgehog” offers more details about the plot, in which Sonic, the world’s speediest hedgehog (voiced by Ben Schwartz), and his new best human friend Tom (James Marsden) team up to defend the planet from the mustachioed, latte-loving evil genius Dr. Robotnik (Jim Carrey) and his plans for world domination.

After months of CGI revamps due to fan backlash of the first trailer, Paramount Pictures has unveiled our first look at the redesigned Sonic in an all-new official trailer for the Sonic the Hedgehog movie. Based on the global blockbuster videogame franchise from Sega, Sonic the Hedgehog tells the story of the world's speediest hedgehog as he embraces his new home on Earth. In this live-action adventure comedy, Sonic and his new best friend Tom (James Marsden) team up to defend the planet from the evil genius Dr. Robotnik (Jim Carrey) and his plans for world domination. The family-friendly film also stars Tika Sumpter and Ben Schwartz as the voice of Sonic.

The original Sonic the Hedgehog design had human features which fans hated and promptly registered their disgust online. The human teeth, long legs, and weird eyes are all gone now and it appears that even the shoes have been overhauled.

The trailer for the new film Sonic the Hedgehog debuted today and we have to admit, it looks kind of fun. But, check it out up above and let us know your thoughts in the comments section down below.

Sonic the Hedgehog is a live-action adventure comedy based on the global blockbuster videogame franchise from Sega that centers on the infamously brash bright blue hedgehog. The film follows the (mis)adventures of Sonic as he navigates the complexities of life on Earth with his newfound—human—best friend Tom Wachowski (James Marsden). 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.

There's an animation/live-action hybrid Sonic The Hedgehog movie in the works, and Deadpool's Tim Miller is now an executive producer.

Sonic the Hedgehog, veteran of countless video games, an animated series (with another on the way), and a long-running comic book series from Archie Comics, is coming to the big screen, with a familiar name helping to make it happen for Sony Pictures.

Tim Miller, who has a little time on his hands after leaving the director's chair on Deadpool 2, is going to serve as executive producer on the film along with Jeff Fowler. Neal H Moritz of the Fast & Furious movies is producing with Takeshi Ito and Mie Onishi. Patrick Casey...

Hot on the heels of their Flash scoop, The Hollywood Reporter is back with another big get as they've learned that Deadpool director Tim Miller has signed on to develop a film adaptation of the immensely popular video game series Sonic the Hedgehog for Sony Pictures. He'll be joined by his longtime Blur Studios collaborator & fellow Academy Award-nominee Jeff Fowler (Gopher Broke), who is expected to helm the project while Miller serves as executive producer. Neal H. Moritz (Fast & Furious franchise), Takeshi Ito, & Mie Onishi will be on-board as producers and the Golan the Insatiable writing duo of Patrick Casey & Josh Miller are currently penning the script. The film, which will follow the titular Sonic and his friends Tails & Knuckles on an all-new adventure, is being described as a hybrid CG-animated/live-action family film, which sounds like something right in Miller's wheelhouse.  So, what do you guys think? Sound off with your thoughts below!

Just one week after director Tim Miller left his highly-anticipated sequel Deadpool 2, the filmmaker has found his next project. Today we have word that Tim Miller has signed on to develop and executive produce Sony Pictures' Sonic the Hedgehog movie. The project will mark quite the drastic departure from the R-rated Deadpool, with Sonic the Hedgehog being crafted as a live-action/CGI hybrid.

The Hollywood Reporter reveals that Tim Miller will develop the project with his longtime Blur Studios partner Jeff Fowler, who will make his directorial debut with the project. Neal Moritz is also attached to produce this video game adaptation, with Patrick Casey and Josh Miller (Golan the Insatiable) writing the script. Here's what Tim Miller had to say about his partner Jeff Fowler.

"Jeff is an incredible director with strong story instincts. The world of Sonic presents the perfect opportunity for him to leverage his experience...

Back in 2014 came word that Sony Pictures Entertainment and Sega Sammy Group's Marza Animation Planet were teaming up to develop "Sonic the Hedgehog," a live-action and animation hybrid cinematic feature based on the iconic video game franchise.

Nothing much has been heard since, but Sega CEO Hajime Satomi revealed to Worldfolio (via io9) this week that the project is still on the way and is being fast-tracked for a 2018 release.

The film aims to capture Sonic's irreverent tone and will incorporate iconic characters from the franchise including the evil Dr. Eggman. Evan Susser and Van Robichaux are penning this feature which is being produced by Neal H. Moritz, Takeshi Ito and Mie Onishi.

The "Sonic" franchise has sold over 140 million games and the character previously headlined several animated series.

In the years since Den of Geek first sprung into existence, we’ve consistently kept an eye on the video games that have been touted for the big screen treatment. We’ve tried to list them all in a big article a few times before, and it feels like the time has come to pull a new version together.

Out of the hundreds of thousands of films in the world currently in development, a large number of them serve as adaptations for (mostly) successful video games and video game franchises. Some have been seen on our screens before either via a previous adaptation or television series, while some...
