The film adaptation of Eric Powell’s comic The Goon, which is to be helmed by David Fincher (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button), is underway as Powell has finished the screenplay.

“I just finished writing the script a few months back, and Blur is working on a lot of test stuff,” says Powell. “Fincher is working on a film right now, so we’re waiting for him to get some space so we can start showing some of this stuff off. I’m pretty happy with everything so far. We’ve just got to work to get to the next point. This is a slow, long process.“

Paul Giamatti and Clancy Brown have been hired to voice two of the film’s animated characters.  In the story, the Goon is “a muscle-bound brawler who claims to be the primary enforcer for the feared mobster Labrazio. The Goon (and his sidekick Franky) often get tied up in other machinations, often in relation to the evil zombie gangs under the command of the Nameless Zombie Priest.“
