Actor Jim Carrey is close to lock a deal with Paramount Pictures for live-action/animation hybrid "Sonic the Hedgehog".
The film is an adaptation of the classic video game launched by Sega in 1991 and features a hedgehog named Sonic on a quest to defeat Doctor Robotnik, a scientist who has imprisoned animals in robots and stolen magical Chaos Emeralds.
If things are finalised, the 56-year-old actor will play the role of Robotnik, a mad scientist and Sonic's archenemy, reported Variety.
The project will be helmed by Jeff Fowler. He is best known for for his 2005 Oscar-nominated short "Gopher Broke".
Neal H Moritz will be producing under his Original Film banner and Tim Miller will serve as executive producer.
