Actor Clancy Brown has opened up about the delays The Goon film adaptation has experienced. The Goon is based on a comic series of the same name, which was written and drawn by Eric Powell. The comics follow the titular character as he takes on numerous supernatural beings, including zombies, ghosts, mutants, and interdimensional aliens. Dark Horse has been publishing The Goon since 2003, and its avid following has generated interest in a film.
While talking about Dexter: New Blood with Collider, Brown was asked if he had heard any status updates on The Goon. Brown mentioned the trouble with getting the film off the ground over the years, saying there were times around the success of Deadpool where it looked like The Goon movie was finally moving forward. Brown also expressed confusion surrounding how the film can't get made with the likes of Fincher and Giamatti attached.
"I haven't. There was some noise, I think it was after Guardians of the Galaxy did so well, or maybe it was after Deadpool did so well, that maybe that would ... I think it was Deadpool. And so maybe that would shake it loose for The Goon, but I haven't heard anything. And to me, it smells like there's legal rights being wrangled. Because I don't know why you wouldn't let Paul Giamatti and me and [David] Fincher and the rest of the guys loose on this thing.
