The Goon movie in development at Fox!
-------------------------------------
Seven years ago there was a brief spark of hope for fans of
the cult comic series The Goon as a Kickstarter campaign went
underway to try and bring the series to the big screen.
Successfully funded, the campaign created an animatic of the
feature to take to investors and studios and after that...
mostly radio silence.

Now, Blur Studios (the VFX company co-created by Deadpool's
Tim Miller) has announced on the film's Kickstarter page that
the movie is underway at none other than 20th Century Fox
with Peter Chernin's The Chernin Group producing (Planet of
the Apes, Red Sparrow).

"With your generous contributions, we were able to finish a
full storyboard animatic of the film, complete with excellent
voice acting, sound design, and music," Blur wrote in a
statement. "This template for the film sold the producers and
studio on the potential of THE GOON and we're beginning a new
round of development."

Created by Eric Powell, The Goon follows the adventures of a
muscle-bound brawler who claims to be the primary enforcer
for a feared mobster. The stories have a paranormal and
comedic edge to them and concern ghosts, zombies, mad
scientists, skunk apes, and more. The original test scene
done for the film included Clancy Brown voicing the titular
character and Paul Giamatti as his friend and associate Franky.
