Via TheGoon.com, homepage of “The Goon” comic book, comes news that David Fincher has plans to bring the supernatural comic book to the big screen via a CG film. Or as they put it: “THEGOON.COM is proud to announce that THE GOON has been optioned by acclaimed director and producer DAVID FINCHER and Academy-Award nominated BLUR STUDIO to develop as a CG animated feature film with Dark Horse Entertainment.” Yeah, that’s what I said.

THR picked up on it:

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.

Sounds like fun times. Minus the zombies, of course. Or maybe because of the zombies? Either/or, I suppose. When you have muscles that big, does it matter who you’re slugging? Methinks not!
