And a Lengthy Interview with the Core Team
Earlier today, a video surfaced from this weekend’s MAGfest showing the first trailer of Eddie Lebron’s Sonic fan film. It was recorded off camera, and since then a slightly better version has surfaced.
It comes courtesy of website TaintedReality.net, and following the trailer is a more than 20 minute interview with film director and writer Eddie Lebron and two unnamed co-ops. Lebron talks about his history in fan film making, and how he wishes to raise the bar from his Mega Man project. In it, the trio reveal portions of the film will be shot in the U.S. Virgin Islands, making for a truly tropical environment, and word that human freedom fighters will be in the mix, with plot elements now borrowed from the SatAM television series to accommodate. Also within is Lebron’s personal concession he will not able to please everybody, working in a lengthy reference to the recent green eye debate among the more purist area of fandom.
Take a look and listen, with emphasis on the latter, in the video below. We sent a correspondent to MAGfest as well, and he grabbed a fair bit of concept art which we’ll share shortly.

Here are the full statements of where Eddie’s filming and about the teaser.
Where to film:”Progress is being made daily on “Sonic” to the point where a majority of the visual effects are already hammered out and we are currently getting ready for production. We aim to be shooting for 4 days in mid-April at Puerto Rico. We are extremely exited to begin shooting at some amazing locations that will bring the atmosphere and environment of the Sonic mythos to life. We will post images of the locations we are shooting at this week!”
Teaser:”The WIP teaser will remain private for a little while since we are currently re-rendering the teaser with the updated model of “Sonic”. That will be the version to go public (as well as the WIP so people can compare). We’ve been filtering all the feedback on the model and the results are quite pleasing! For all of our subscribers, expect a look at him VERY soon…like, 48 hours soon.”
I’m guessing the “WIP” means,”Work-In-Progress”.
