So far most of the action has taken place at a  temporary Mean Bean facade.

Which is a Dr. Robotnik Mean Bean Machine reference.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 starts filming.

Paramount and Sega started development on a Sonic sequel last year.

The live-action/animation movie grossed over $58 million on its opening weekend in February and was one of the first released early on home entertainment after theatres shut down around the world out of Covid-19 fears.

What was it about?

Sonic the Hedgehog (voiced by Ben Schwartz) and the Green Hills Sheriff Tom Wachowski (James Marsden) team up to stop Dr. Eggman Robotnik (Jim Carrey)’s plan for world domination.

At the “tail” end of the movie, Sonic’s buddy Tails showed up in Green Hills.

If these readings are accurate, I’ve found him. I just hope I’m not too late. — Tails.

The original Sonic Movie shot in B.C. from late July to mid-October in 2018, spinning off $37.5 million into the economy.
