Are you ready for the movie?

 



 
 The last time we heard anything about ' The Goon' movie adaptation was probably back in March when we reported on what we think it might look like in CG. After months of little to no news regarding the movie, we finally have something to look forward to! According to a recent interview, 'The Goon's creator Eric Powell announced that the script for the film adaptation has finally been completed. Director David Finch will be heavily involved in the film which will be produced for Blur Studios.

"I just finished writing the script a few months back, and Blur is working on a lot of test stuff...Fincher is working on a film right now, so we're waiting for him to get some space so we can start showing some of this stuff off. I'm pretty happy with everything so far. We've just got to work to get to the next point. This is a slow, long process."

The fact that it is slow going, might mean that it will get done right! Additionally, it is likely that the film will be animated rather than live -action, which is what Powell has said he prefers.

"I always felt that the material would work better animated, just because of the bizarre nature of the characters and the atmosphere of the stories."

Are you excited to hear that the script for 'The Goon' has been completed? Did you read the comics?
