David Fincher qui s’occupe de produire l’adaptation ciné de The Goon est passé dire bonjour à Quint de Aintitcool. Ce dernier en a profité pour lui demander des news sur l’avancée du projet, la réponse est sans compromis :

Quint: One thing I wanted to touch on before we wrap this up is The Goon movie. Can you give me an update on that?
David Fincher: Animation that isn’t singing furry animals is hard. Especially something as outré as Eric Powell. And it’s his script! (laughs) It’s main-lined Eric Powell. We kind of went out with it at the end of the year and I don’t know that a lot of people were paying attention, but hopefully someone will step in and want to (pick it up).

I gotta hope there are more avenues for animation than… I certainly wouldn’t call The Goon “adult animation.” I think that ends up starting to sound like Fritz The Cat and that’s not what it is. It’s more like “teen animation.” And it’s funny!

Hopefully this will be the year that people go, “Wait a minute! We don’t all have to be trying to imitate Pixar!”

Quint: If there’s anything you need on our end…
David Fincher: Just give me $55 million!

Quint: Alright, I’ll start a PayPal account right now!
David Fincher: We’ll set up a tip jar!

En gros, il nous fait part de la difficulté de faire un film d’animation quand il ne s’agit pas de petits zanimaux qui chantent. Il regrette aussi que les producteurs fassent tous du Pixar et il milite pour de l’animation plus gore et fun pour les “teen”.
Enfin il rappelle que ce qui manque avant tout au projet, c’est des eurrros.

Pour ceux qui dorment au fond on leur remet le trailer.
