Which director do you think will do a better job at making it:
Bryan Singer
Sam Rami
Peter Jackson
or
Bret Renter
Joss Whedon.
Why would you select live action movie directors for a project which is clearly animated (unless you wish to have CGI EVERYONE just for a LiveAction!Eggman). I doubt WB would touch anything archie, as time has proven that Disney do their animation (ie. Archie mysteries and Sabrina). It'd be logical to get the crew who worked on those shows to do anything Archie!Sonic related.
...I would wonder why they don't do it on something else. Actually, I'd wonder why they need to make a Sonic movie in the first place; VG movies are, traditionally, bad.
Craig, it's actually DiC that made those shows (Sabrina and Archie Mysteries), but at the time, DiC was owned by Dinsey. Since being released from the company, the rights still belong to DiC.
Besides bw1979, I doubt any of those directors on your list would want to kill off their carrer by directing a movie based off Archie's Sonic comic.
....It would probably be bad. And it wouldn't succeed, unfortunately. It's too bad, I'd enjoy it.

Dang it...I wanted to be the one who revealed that tidbit of information...
Actually I was going to say
...It would suck
Well, thats decided. Neo has spoken.

Just reading this thread makes me wish Tarrantino directed the cut scenes for Shadow the Hedgehog. And I'm surprised there was no actual bullet time in Shadow... unless chaos control counts.
As for the actual topic question, well, I thought about it, and this is what I came up with:
If you were being serious, John Lassiter and Pixar.
Dolly Parton would do the voice of Bunnie Rabbot.
Eh, that would suck, if they did do somethin' like that it'll be riddled with Sonic falling in love with 8 girls, have everybody like 
at Archie...oh wait...
Meh, the comic is too large and twisted to turn into a passable movie- even for a finale.
Too many characters, too many plots, too many sub-plots, too many enemies, too many INCOMPETENT enemies, too many colossal mess-ups in comic continuity...
You'd have to literally ignore 80% or more of the Comic world in order to even get a movie plot going, and even then it might run too long.
But then again, I give a damn.
I'll save a long rant and ask "Why do you assume Taro is an action director?" I've seen his films and would judge him as an artsy dude who's as geeky as Kevin Smith, infatuated with Kung-Fu B-Movies and has an interesting mix of Shylaman and Fincher in camera control and the way he commands focus during scenes and how he moves the crane cam, plus he has his own neon lighting thing which is just plain cool.
If anything... it should be a stop-motion animated movie directed by Tim Burton!!!! Bwahahaha x3
