In the film, Jim Carrie embodies a crazy genius • "It brings me back to the characters I played in 'Mask' and 'Non-stop Fools'," Curry says, "I just let the madness in me flow out"

• Jim Carrey in the role of Dr. Robotnik in "Sonic: The Movie"

Tomorrow will air in Sonic: The Movie, which combines computer animation with Live Action, on the adventures of Sonic the Blue Hedgehog, the hero of Japan's popular Sega video game series since 1991.

At the center of the plot is the figure of Sonic, the world's fastest hedgehog, who acclimates to his new home on Earth and shows interest in humans. He has a special interest in a policeman in a small town called Tom (James Marsden, "Ex-Man"), whom he calls "The Donuts Lord." The surprising connection between the two is made after Sonic causes a temporary fall - aroused the attention of an evil genius named Dr. Robotnik. Robotnik plots to take over the world through Sonic's power. The villain Robotnik is played by Jim Carrey.

Ideas for developing a cinematic version of Sonic's plot came up as early as the mid-1990s, but the film only got green light about a year and a half ago. Mostly the hype surrounding the project was related to Carrie's casting. The film is slated for release last November, but a trailer released in May has sparked negative reviews, and Paramount Studios has decided to postpone the film's release and make some improvements. Most of the outrage at the trailer was due to Sonic's overly human appearance, including teeth and facial expressions that didn't match the character from the video game. The computer animation was re-launched, and Sonic's character was redesigned just like the original.

Now the studios' decision seems to have paid off. "Sonic: The Movie" peaked in the U.S. last weekend and grossed $ 70 million, plus $ 43 million worldwide - a higher than expected opening figure. It's a record for a video game-based film, and it's also Carrie's second-highest opening, Second only to his 2003 film "Biggest Bruce of All".

Carrie (58) burst into the 90s with comedies such as "Ace Ventura: Laugh Detective" and "The Mask." Later he was also praised for his dramatic acting in films such as "The Truman Show" and "Man on the Moon" - two roles he won for the Golden Globe Award. In recent years, the pace of his work has slowed down, but his star now seems to be treading again. Along with the success of "Sonic: The Movie" at the box office, last week returned to the small screen comic series starring "Childish" (Monday at 22:50 on the yes EDGE channel). In the series, he portrays Mr. Pickles, an iconic child star who begins to lose his sanity following the loss of his son.

During the promotion of "Sonic: The Movie", Carrie said: "I just let the madness in me flow out. It's a role that brings me back to the absurd energy that people so much loved me in" The Mask "or" The Stupid Non-stop "- and for me it's no fun. In a crazy genius movie with over 300 kc, but all of his intelligence is marred by his immense ego, dealing with nonsensical things that he never loved, turning his anger on the world that abandoned him and wanting to terrorize him.

"Sonic's character, on the other hand, represents the spirit of nonsense and innocence, a pure, life-loving soul who always finds a way to enjoy it. That's my personal philosophy for life. I wake up every morning and do just what I have an absolute desire to do."

In preparation for the film, Karae experimented with the original video game, assisted by his 10-year-old grandson Jackson. "He tore me up, I didn't stand a chance," he said with a smile, "I saw how passionate and sophisticated he was in his connection to the game, that's the kind of thing that turns kids into fighter pilots. In my opinion, adults will experience a similar experience if they watch a movie with children. I felt like a kid when I got to have fun In Robotnik's lab during filming, I imagined flying a spacecraft. In fact, I hung a crane. "
