Jim Carrey on Sonic 2 and Why The Empire Strikes Back Means So Much to Him

Apr 05 2022

With director Jeff Fowler’s Sonic the Hedgehog 2 opening in theaters this weekend, I recently got to speak with Jim Carrey about playing Doctor Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik in the anticipated sequel. During the fun interview, Carrey talked about how he prepares for a role like Robotnik, the way he will push himself to his limits when he makes a movie, how he figured out how the emerald would affect his character, and how only five percent of the jokes he comes up with will make it into the movie. In addition, we talked about the way George Lucas changed VFX and sound in movies and why The Empire Strikes Back has such a special place in his heart.
