I know a certain someone who’s head is about to explode…

In one of the more surprising comic book movie announcements, the Dark Horse title The Goon, written/drawn/created by the wildly talented Eric Powell, will be hitting the screen in a CG animated film to be helmed by Fight Club’s David Fincher.

You read that right. The man who brought wild tales involving such characters as zombie priests, canniabal hobos, and pie loving skunk apes, will be teaming up with the man behind Panic Room and the adventures of Tyler Durden.  This was announced last night on Powell’s official website, with word following from the Hollywood Reporter, pretty much assuring it’s good to go.

Film goers, get ready for the wacky.

      HOLY GOLDEN NUGGETS OF CRUISADING AWESOME TARTS!!!

      Explode is right.
      Right now my mouth is screaming that very message across the room to my body as it types. Whoa boy! Now where is the rest of my face?! I’m so happy I could cry. You know, if I still had eyeballs.

      This calls for that gif of the guy falling backwards from his chair.
      Ah…

      Oh it feels so good.
      It’s like laying inside of a giant chilled watermelon during the summertime.

      This is awesome. I wonder where they’re going to be starting the story and whether or not it’ll continue in the epic direction its heading in the comics.
