One flick we’ve been keeping you all in the loop with is the David Fincher produced THE GOON, only problem is updates on this bad larry have been few and far between. Hell our last update on THE GOON came way back in August! Now that’s just unacceptable.
So here we are today with somewhat of an update on the long awaited animated feature. Now it’s nothing to write home about but David Fincher recently chatted a bit with Ain’t It Cool News and dished a little on what’s taking THE GOON so long. Check it:
“Animation that isn’t singing furry animals is hard. Especially something as outré as Eric Powell. And it’s his script! (laughs) It’s main-lined Eric Powell. We kind of went out with it at the end of the year and I don’t know that a lot of people were paying attention, but hopefully someone will step in and want to (pick it up). I gotta hope there are more avenues for animation than… I certainly wouldn’t call The Goon “adult animation.” I think that ends up starting to sound like Fritz The Cat and that’s not what it is. It’s more like “teen animation.” And it’s funny! Hopefully this will be the year that people go, “Wait a minute! We don’t all have to be trying to imitate Pixar!”
Eric Powell is of course the creator of THE GOON comic. And there you have it. Perhaps 2011 will be the year of THE GOON? We can only hope. Coming from directors Jeff Fowler and Tim Miller, THE GOON stars the voice talents of Paul Giamatti and Clancy Brown. As always as soon as we hear more on this animated genre romp we’ll be sure to pass the good word along to all of you!
