Dark Horse Entertainment, David Fincher and animation house Blur Studios are teaming up to bring cult comic The Goon to the big screen as a CG-animated film. While no studio is yet attached to distribute the new comic film, Universal has a first-look deal with anything Dark Horse related. Comic series creator Eric Powell was the one who first broke the news at his website before the trades picked up the news. He'll pen the screenplay while Fincher produces.
Plot Concept: The comic 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 and "skunk apes."
