It’s a big question.
MAJDOUB: Okay, okay, here it is:Young Frankenstein.
I’m a huge Gene Wilder fan.
Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails reunite against a powerful new adversary, Shadow, a mysterious villain with powers unlike anything they have faced before. With their abilities outmatched, Team Sonic must seek out an unlikely alliance.
That movie is ayearlygo-to for me.
I’d love to be on that movie.
What’s great is there’s no wrong answer.
Its just a way for people to express what they’re a fan of.
MAJDOUB: I mean, there’s so many.
But that was the first one that popped into my head, and I’m sticking with it.
Lee Majdoub Says Working With Jim Carrey Is “Incredible”
Is this real life?
Jumping into this film.
You’ve worked with Jim [Carrey] now a few times.
When you think back on all the times you’ve worked with him, what’s your go-to memory?
Because I am asuper fanof Jim Carrey.
MAJDOUB: Arent we all?
[Laughs] Right?
But you were actually watching him work firsthand and seeing his process.
We’ve done three now, and I’m still like, Okay, hold on.
But did[Sonic 1]happen?
Is this real life?
It’s real pinch-myself moments, for sure.
Oh, 100%.
I would imagine that there are a lot of kids or younger people that watch these movies.
Can you share an experience you had in a random place of someone recognizing you?
What is that like?
He’s just looking at me.
I clocked him, and I gave him a little wave.
I was like, Yeah, do you want to come talk?
He turns around and runs away.
I hear, Dad!
They come over, I talk to the kid, we take pictures.
It’s those moments, man.
Thank you for sharing.
MAJDOUB: Thank you.
How Does Stone and Robotniks Relationship Grow?
What does their friendship truly mean?
One of the things about this film is it was more emotional than I expected.
That’s why I think it’s the best one, besides the action.
You take that, and then you put it into the relationship that Sonic has with Tails and Knuckles.
You get to see Sonic struggle with anger and really attempt to process what that is.
Sonic the Hedgehog 3is now playing in theaters.
With their abilities outmatched, Team Sonic must seek out an unlikely alliance.
