Straight from the Kickstarter updates; >As loyal fans, we wanted you folks to be the first to know… THE GOON feature is officially in development at 20th Century Fox! And we owe a huge debt of thanks to you, our backers for keeping the faith during this long journey. You helped us keep the dream alive. Without you, we couldn’t have gotten this far.
With your generous contributions, we were able to finish a full storyboard animatic of the film, complete with excellent voice acting, sound design, and music. This template for the film sold the producers and studio on the potential of THE GOON and we're beginning a new round of development.
>So, what exactly does “development” mean? Well, it doesn't mean that we're making the movie next week -- the proverbial Hollywood "greenlight" always happens in phases -- but it does mean we've got fresh wind in our sails, the resources of a studio and some "heavy-hitter" producers behind us.
>Which producers you may ask? The Chernin Group. They’ve brought us movies such as the PLANET OF THE APES franchise, RED SPARROW and OBLIVION. They love the project and we're all excited about this next phase along with Eric, David Fincher and all the folks at blur.
>Thank you all again. More updates coming as they happen!
>YOUR FRIENDS AT THE GOON KICKSTARTER.

Truly a day of celebration.

Did a comical double take when I saw this in my inbox a few minutes ago. Been so many years since I contributed.
Maybe one of the two Kickstarters I bought into might actually bear decent fruit now.
Sebastian Price
Neve read the goon. Where should I start.
Jaxon Cruz
If you're going to make up bullshit like this at least use a studio that ACTUALLY EXISTS YOU STUPID FUCK
Jaxon Thompson
How many meetings will they have before some bright young Disney executive points out there are some very troubling issues regarding "inclusivity" and "toxic masculinity" with this Goon project. The intern googled the word "goon" and we're afraid that term might be offensive to some people.
I'm sorry but this is all becoming very problematic. There's a lot to unpack. Everything's going to be okay though because we assembled a multi-ethnic focus group of college students to give us their feedback...

Getting your hopes up for nothing
Dominic Howard
I guess the success of Love Death & Robots had something to do with it.
Spider-Verse won an Oscar and changed the timeline.
Nolan Johnson
We waited
Luis Thompson
Holy shit they fucking did it.
Blake Baker
Saved by a nigger what a time...
Lucas Williams
As opposed to what other 3D animation company?
Easton Fisher
I was guessing something like this would happen. I thought LDR was a mixed bag but that tends to happen in anthology series. Glad to see it led to this.
Fox is Disney’s new Touchstone Pictures. The brand you release potentially problematic things under just in case the bible thumpers, soccer moms, SJW’s, or alt right get assmad about it.
I wonder what’s going to happen to this. Before Disney bought Fox, Blue Sky said they were going to tone-down the story to make it kids-friendly. But now that Fox is Disney’s adult-branch, that might no longer be necessary.
>Disney isn’t dismantling the Fox brand, just absorbing it. They also confirmed Deadpool will continue to be rated R and without meddling. Links, please?
Anthony Rodriguez
I thought I had thrown my money away, but they actually pulled it off.
Hunter Jenkins
Fucking really? The biggest shift in entertainment properties and finances since the 70’s and the deaths of the original megastudios, and you aren’t even paying attention to the details?
It’ll probably go to Hulu intact. They want to compete with Netflix after all. Bojack proved adults want to stream more mature cartoons.
Elijah Harris
Iger is retiring, user. >The biggest shift in entertainment properties and finances since the 70’s I'm not an economist, just a consumer.
Nathan Davis
Iger is still in charge at the moment, and the rest of the management is on board with it. Even if the next guy wants to go another direction, it’d be an uphill climb since Disney just entered into a contract with a company to manage Fox as a branch company with a degree of independence.
Basically, Disney just absorbed the Avatar IP into itself and otherwise is letting Fox continue to do what it does. The biggest real change otherwise will probably be the Fox fanfare before the future Star Wars movies, and the potential of more adult takes on other Disney IPs in the future either for the cinema or Hulu.
Thomas Rodriguez
Volume 1 Volume 0 if you're curious but that's more of a test run and Powell himself doesn't really recommend it
I tried to find his 1st 39th issue (the cape parody one) to get him to sign it, but to no luck. Fate did not want it to actually he a collector's, item.
Kayden White
It is true
Sebastian Foster
Nice!
Isaiah Sanchez
Huh. That almost fits actually.
Elijah Cooper
Weird Goon never get's drawfags
Lucas Martinez
Aren't most drawthreads waifufag circlejerks anyways?
David Collins
Well it's adapting pretty shit comic to begin with so there's your starting point.
Levi Brown
True. Goon doesn't really have waifu, just an in real life stripper Powell sometimes puts into his comic
And the next Goon issue is next week, if I recall right.
Blake Diaz
So, fucking Disney is making a Goon movie? That's a trip
William Lee
Disney released Reniassance in the states here, an R-rated animated film, under Miramax. (Granted it's not Disney distributed here anymore, but point stands)
they care about maintaining that Walt Disney Pictures brand is family friendly, but they've produced and distributed tons of adult shit
Grayson Phillips
it's alot like how Warner Bros bought out New Line Cinema back in the mid 90s, and until 2009, they pretty much let them do whatever the fuck they want
Elijah Price
it's a nothing update
JLD used to get these all the time.
Landon Baker
Heh, pretty weird to do an update, it's not like it'd bring money.
But until we get a trailer I'm not trusting squat
Nicholas Myers
>fucking Disney is making a Goon movie? In an umbrella sort of way, which is bound to happen considering they own everything.
Nicholas Barnes
"Disney" "made" Usual Suspects user.
Andrew Allen
I made a dark bargain. I'm sorry about the 2020 election.
Jayden Ross
When wasn’t blue sky kids friendly?
Brayden Price
Also basically all the good/decent Shamwowlan movies until he had his Lady In The Water autistic fit.
Leo Jones
Sounds solid. Hopefully it makes people stop talking about politics.
The source has been posted in the thread, fucking retard
Austin Barnes
Can't rain every day mate, sometimes we DO get nice things
Luke Sanders
Is that Frank? cute
Jeremiah Cooper
They cancelled Mouse Guard because it was asking for like a 125 million+ budget for a stop motion film. Like, I like Mouse Guard but that's really insane.
Jace Hughes
And Pulp Fiction
Luke Baker
I hope they do ok. I still have the signed kickstarter poster framed on my wall.
William Walker
>primal Valid. >looney tunes revival Who knows if the rest of the series measures up to those two seconds? >static cling and enter the florpus coming to Netflix It's being dumped there. We won't get any more animated Rocko or Zim content. >now the fucking goon movie It won't happen.
Jordan Kelly
it's the price for disney now owning everything including our skins and heartbeats
Adam Peterson
Screencapping this post so I can laugh at you when it comes out
Adam Lewis
Do it, motherfucker. There won't be another Rocko or Zim movie after this, and there won't ever be a Goon movie. If we're lucky, the Looney Tunes revival will have good animation, but nothing else good will happen.
Jonathan Thompson
Finally, some good fucking news.
Connor Fisher
I think I will be pissed off it it goes to Netflix. I want the whole movie going experience for Goon. I actually want to go to a theatre and see this, and I want a hard copy DVD or Blu-ray when it comes to home released.
What the actual fuck. Is there really no search option on that site? What kind of literal downie thinks not having a search function on an index type site is a good idea?
