2 Character Posters for the Seann William Scott and Jay Baruchel Hockey Film GOON
Two character posters have been released for the upcoming Seann William Scott and Jay Baruchel Hockey film Goon. The posters feature some nice smashed up hockey player faces of Scott and actor Liev Shreiber. This movie has been a passion project for Baruchel who co-wrote it with Evan Goldberg (Superbad). This sounds like it's going to be a fun entertaining movie.
Michael Dowse is directing the film in which Scott plays Doug, a small town bouncer who, after physically defending his best friend (Baruchel) at a hockey game, is recruited to play the enforcer for a minor league team, despite initial misgivings.
In an previous interview with MTV Baruchel had this to say about the character Doug,
Doug isn't about winning. Doug is about doing what you need to do in a given time and finding what you are good at and finding what you're meant to do. In some ways it's a fairly... anti-sports movie because there's no -- well, I don't want to give too much away, but it doesn't have all the clichés that those movies usually have.
He went on to talk more about the film saying,
We have 55 speaking roles and 17 different fight scenes. I think that we're going to entertain people and were going to hit them in the head with a two by four, but I think more than anything people will be surprised by how moved they are by the story. I really think we've created a pretty classic character, and Seann is doing something unlike he's ever done."
[This movie is for] guys that are sick of PG blood and just nonsense. We're trying to create something real... hopefully for people that dig awesome movies. Hockey fans and f---ing fight fans.
What are your thoughts on the posters and the film?
