The Hollywood Reporter reports that David Fincher will produce a CG-animated feature titled "The Goon," which is based on a comic series created by Eric Powell in 1999. Powell himself will adapt the comic for the big screen. No director or studio is attached yet.

According to the trade, the film tells of "the adventures of a muscle-bound brawler who claims to be the primary enforcer for a feared mobster. The stories have a paranormal and comedic edge to them and concern ghosts, zombies, mad scientists and 'skunk apes.' Dark Horse has been publishing the comic since 2003.
