Check Out the New Trailer for The Goon Animated Movie

July 20, 2010 By Ryan Fleming

A trailer for the new animated adaptation of Eric Powell’s "The Goon" has debuted online. The movie is due out in 2011.

From cult comic to animated movie, what a long strange trip it has been for Eric Powell’s The Goon. Originally debuting in March 1999 through Avatar Press, The Goon quickly gained a small, but intensely loyal following. The self-published comic soon grabbed the attention of Dark Horse Comics, who have been publishing the title since 2003.

The story and the exact release date are both still being kept under wraps (the movie is due out sometime in 2011), but the story in the comic follows The Goon (who will be voiced by Clancy Brown in the movie), and Franky aka Francesca (voiced by Paul Giamatti), who are fighting The Zombie Priest, a mysterious occult practitioner who builds an army of zombies.

Check out the trailer below for the movie that is being produced by David Fincher and animated by the award-winning Blur Studio, who is primarily known for its animated shorts.

Kerry at 4:27am 27th July 2010 Oh this is just too good. I'm a huge fan of this series and I was worried when i realized it was going to be made into a movie. Eric Powell did see to it that his baby was treated with respect. The guy's a work-aholic but he does know how to treat his work with respect. I just hope the director does the same. This is one film I cannot wait to see.
