David Fincher has recently acquired the film rights for “The Goon”. The official site for the comic announced that Fincher picked up the rights, along with Blur Studio and Dark Horse Entertainment, for a CG animated movie. The comic’s creator Eric Powell will be writing the film’s screenplay.

The series was created by Powell in 1999. The story centers on the Goon, 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.
