Sonic the Hedgehog: Project Shadow

Sonic Adventure 2 (released in South America, Africa and Philippines as Sonic the Hedgehog 2) is a 2009 American adventure fantasy film directed and written by J.J. Abrams, Steven Spielberg and Robert Zemeckis. Based on the video game franchise published by Sega, it is the sequel to Sonic the Hedgehog (2004), and is the second installment of the original Sonic the Hedgehog film series. It stars voice actors, Ben Schwartz, Hayden Christensen, Tom Holland, Dwayne Johnson, Hannah Tointon, Jim Carrey, and Tyler Perry. The film continues as Sonic the Hedgehog, Tails and Knuckles the Echidna attempt to save the world, while Shadow the Hedgehog, Doctor Eggman and Rouge the Bat attempt to conquer it.

Two sequels to Sonic the Hedgehog were conceived in May 2006, with Spielberg and Abrams developing a story arc that would span both films. Filming took place from April to July 2008 with a budget of $22 million, and was consequently the most expensive film made at the time of its release. It had extensive visual effects created by 11 different companies. It was shot back-to-back with the third film of the series, Sonic Adventure III (2011).

Sonic Adventure 2 premiered in Los Angeles on November 30, 2009, and was released in the United States on December 23 as the first Sonic film using IMAX Technology and released into IMAX Theatres. It received generally positive reviews from critics, who considered it an improvement over its predecessors. It was a commercial success, grossing over $25 million against a $24 million budget. It grossed $187 million worldwide, making it the eleventh-highest-grossing film of all time.
