The Hollywood Reporter reveals that Dark Horse Entertainment, David Fincher and animation house Blur Studios (Gopher Broke) are teaming up to bring cult comic The Goon to the movies as a CG-animated film. Created by Eric Powell in 1999, 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.” Dark Horse has been publishing the comic since 2003. David Fincher is expected to produce the project.
