Proving he’s inspired by the world’s favorite blue hedgehog, directorJeff Fowlerhas revealedvia TwitterthatSonic the Hedgehog 2has wrapped principal photography in Vancouver. That’s impressive news, given that Fowler announced the beginning of productiononly two months ago.
Fowler’s original tweet reads: “That’s a wrap in Vancouver!

As with any movie,Sonic the Hedgehog 2needs to undergo editing in post-production, but the huge amount of digital characters, special effects and voice-overs demand special attention to the blockbuster. Sonic voice actorBen Schwartzalso confirmedvia Twitterthat it’s now time for him to head into the booth to record.
