We finally have a look at David Fincher's upcoming movie The Goon from Dark Horse Entertainment and Blur Studios. Fincher will be producing the new CG-animated endeavor which should hit theaters early to mid-summer of 2010. Not much info on the cast and crew has been released at this point, including the director, but I guess we can always hope that Fincher will take on that role himself. David Fincher is of course the director of such critically acclaimed movies as Se7en, Fight Club, Panic Room, Zodiac, and last year's The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, in case you were wondering.
For those unfamiliar with The Goon, it is a noir comic published through Dark Horse Comics. Created by Eric Powell in 1999, the comic follows the unusual happenstances of a nearly unstoppable powerhouse brawler (The Goon) and his tough and scrappy sidekick (Franky) who collect and enforce for notorious, yet mysteriously absent mobster Labrazio. While Goon goes toe to toe with everything from ghosts to mad scientist to giant spiders who welch on payments, his main foil is the Zombie Preist and his mob of undead cohorts who terrorize the townsfolk who live around Lonely Street. This book has a little of everything -paranormal, science fiction, horror, comedy, and plenty of action. If you're looking for an enjoyable read, you can't go wrong with The Goon and with Fincher helming the upcoming movie I think we're in for a real treat.
