The trailer opens with footage of a forested patch of road on Highway 19 near Bowser, which is made to look like the fictional town of Green Hills.

Carrey plays bad-guy Dr. Robotnik in the film, while James Marsden plays a San Francisco cop who discovers Sonic the Hedgehog and helps him save Earth.

Other areas of Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­Island, including Ladysmith and Fanny Bay, are featured in the $90-million adaptation, which hits theatres in November. Sonic the Hedgehog was filmed in part on Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­Island last year, with primary footage shot in New York and San Francisco.

Sonic the Hedgehog was expected to be one of the big titles on Paramount Pictures’ year-end schedule, but the trailer drew a very mixed reaction Tuesday, with some critics lampooning the CGI of the video game character.
