Earlier this year, I had one hell of a fun time at the cinema when reviewing Seann William Scott’s hilarious and heartwarming sports comedy GOON. I even suggested in that review that I’d love to see further adventures of Doug ‘The Thug’ Glatt as he makes his way up the ice hockey league. It appears the producers must have agreed with me (and many more of the fans) as co-writer, co-producer and co-star Jay Baruchel has announced via Twitter that GOON 2 is currently in development with previous director Michael Dowse returning as well as all those loveable characters! Check out what he had to say…
I’d like to say thank you to all of you for all the GOON 2 love. You guys are wicked.
Though I do feel the need to clarify something from the last article I posted, GOON 2 will be written by @jessechabot and myself.
Evan Goldberg will be involved as a producer and we will all be working our asses off to make as awesome a flick as possible.
Please know this: GOON is pretty close to sacred for all of us involved and we would only be entertaining the idea of continuing the saga if we were all equally convinced that Doug, Laflamme, Stevesy, the Russians, Rolie, Ogilvy Belchy and Eva were only getting started
We will give them and you guys the epic, violent, heartfelt awesomeness that is not just deserved but required. HIGH. LAND. ERS.
Sorry for the tweet carpet bombing, just wanted to provide context and give appropriate respect to my boy @jessechabot
And YES @mdowse is directing the motherfucker! #gaypornhard
