OMG, I am SOOO excited about this project! (So excited that I decided to use IM Talk) After being out of the comic book scene for a while, I recently decided to re-enter the hobby on a limited basis. Believe it or not, writing for WeAreMovieGeeks is kind of time-consuming.
Anyway, I decided to find just 2-3 “newer” titles I like and simply follow those. Well, the very first one I discovered was ‘The Goon’ and goodness gracious is it a wonderful thing… assuming you’re into zombies, thugs, nasty creatures and comic book violence.
So, needless to say… I was ecstatic when I first discovered a feature adaptation was being developed. Then, learned it would be animated… good call! Then, it’s being produced by David Fincher! Holy sh**! When the poster was revealed at Comic Con, I feel further into the geek abyss of fandom. Now, the very first image from the movie has surfaced and I am such a happy movie geek!
Oh, and in case you missed it… here’s the poster again:
