GOON Movie Update - How About Some Good News?

Not much has been issued officially regarding the much anticipated Goon Movie project following last year's phenomenally successful Kickstarter campaign yet idleness has not been the case as things have continued to lurch promisingly forward behind the scenes. Hit the jump for further details!

Since the Kickstarter campaign for the financing of a demo reel for the David Fincher movie adaptation of Eric Powell's comic book exceeded its goal last November the principal source of information released has been through the movie blog site accessible to all sponsors. Regular monthly updates have included glimpses of model sheets and other visuals in development for the project along with status updates on the progress of the demo reel over at Blur Studios. More recently, a segment of the reel featuring the 'animatic' version of a scene from the movie was posted at the end of July. Titled 'Meeting of the Mobs' it runs approximately two minutes in length and is listed as the sixteenth segment, presumably in the complete demo reel.

Reference made by another participant may also have been made in the following Twitter post made by Southern California post-production studio named Post Haste Studios:

MEGA SPOILER ALERT!!!!! FINISHED TALENT V/O ON #TheGoon (movie) THIS IS HAPPENING!!! FINALLY #blurstudios... http://t.co/YG3odjrLXq

Given the time frame it would seem that they are responsible for the very nice sound work on this project and that at least this aspect of the complete demo reel has already been finished. Although I have yet to hear of any description of the completed project one can already conclude from what is currently available at least that there is just No Way that this will be getting any PG-13 rating. Although the violence might be considered 'over the top' it is also presented with enough of a sense of realism that there is a gripping sense of genuine combat brutality as Franky and the Goon deal with the Nameless One's minions in their own genteel manner. Other than that I will also say that fans of the comic series will not be disappointed by this as it is very faithful to is work having been scripted by Eric Powell to begin with.

So if you haven't seen the segment yet just head over to the Goon movie blog page and login.

and for those who haven't contributed yet or just anyone who enjoyed the My Little Pony Season 4 preview at this year's San Diego Comic Con

Enough already, just make this damn thing. When you think of all the "Staright to DVD" classics, to make this and put it out there for sale should really be no big thing.

Ridiculous.
