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.

Because you mentioned retirement or not wanting to act and just focusing on your work?

That appealed to me.

I settled for power napping and power resting.

You know what I mean?

I go to a place of wholeness and less concern for myself.

The thing I admire so much about you is how much of yourself you put into every role.

You’ve talked about how you giveeverythingto a role.

Could you talk a little about your process?

I sit in a room and think intellectually of all the amazing things I could do.

Movie

But somehow, I’m able to do it, and I’m lucky to be doing it.

I thought this was the best one yet.

CARREY: Thats good.

You’ll need to watch all 109 minutes.

Have you seen the finished film?

CARREY: I have not.

He’s seeing things I don’t see.

Also, with something like this, you oughta see the finished VFX.

CARREY: For sure.

For sure, because these artists are absolutely staggering.

What they do blows my mind.

They do it in such detail that it’s meant to be on a big canvas.

The home theater thing is fantastic, but you want to see it on a big screen.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3arrives in theaters on December 20.

With their abilities outmatched, Team Sonic must seek out an unlikely alliance.
