I forgot David Fincher was producing a big screen animated adaptation of THE GOON. I guess because it's animated, we rarely hear about developments such as who gets cast until late in the day, so this project wasn't cropping up every couple of months to remind me it was being made. AICN over the weekend had our first look at the movie, which looks extremely faithful to the graphic novel. It looks like a straight adaptation of Eric Powell's genius, and that makes me happy... Powell is only producing. I have been unable to find out who is directing the picture but I wouldn't rule out either Fincher or Powell. For those who havent read The Goon, its a spectacular mix of 40s gangster and sci-fi pulp. Its like Hellboy in that sense, if the character was played and lived in the universe of James Cagney. The supernatural edge comes with the many battles against ghosts, apes and made scientists. The movie is being made by Blur Studio's, their first feature animated movie and the quality of their work looks mighty impressive. I also like the almost 30's film noir look. It doesn't just look like a graphic novel on screen but looks like a film version of the graphic novel but is still faithful.
