David Fincher vil have din hjælp til at finansiere "The Goon"

Animationsfilmen “The Goon” har længe været fanget i et udviklingshelvede, som den ikke rigtig har kunnet vriste sig ud af, på trods af at den bliver produceret af “The Social Network”-instruktøren, David Fincher.

Dette har nu ført til, at Fincher og animationsstudiet, Blur Animation Studio, har valgt at prøve at få finansieret den næste fase i produktionen uden for Hollywood ved i stedet at gå direkte til publikum via crowdfunding-tjenesten Kickstarter.com.

Fincher og Blur forsøger at få rejst 400.000 dollars via Kickstarter til at få produceret en såkaldt storyreel, der i grove udtræk gennem tegninger skal vise hele filmens handling for mulige investorer.

Der er endnu 26 dage tilbage af Kickstarter-kampagnen, som indtil nu er oppe på over 126.000 dollars.

For at fange folks opmærksomhed har Fincher og Blur desuden sammensat en lille pitchvideo, der kan ses ovre hos Kickstarter.

Jeff Fowler (fra Blur Studios) om Giamatti & Clancy Brown:

[Sean Smithson:] Giamatti himself is a pretty big fan of the geek stuff too isn't he? I know he's really bent over backwards trying to keep his project with Don Coscarelli alive, "Bubba Nosferatu" ("the sequel to Bubba Ho-Tep").

For sure. He was terrific. When we told him we wanted to produce a couple of new shots, he volunteered to duck into a voice over booth where he was in New York just for this Kickstarter campaign, so we could have some new content and keep things moving forward. As you can see, the Kickstarter video at the top of the page has some of us with Fincher, some of the test reel that everyone has seen, and some new shots designed specifically for the campaign.

[Sean Smithson:] Your voice talent is pretty frickin' great. With Giamatti as Franky the pupiless sidekick, and Clancy Brown as The GOON which, jeez I don't think Ive seen, or rather, heard more perfect casting as far as a comic to film thing, since maybe Perlman was tapped to play Hellboy, and that's saying something. That said, how did you get Giamatti and Brown on board initially?

We already had the characters built, the CG characters, the models. So with Paul we went and grabbed some clips from his film Cinderella Man, where he's a trainer, and took some clips from the film and animated his Goon character Franky doing those lines, sent it to him, and said "Man look how perfect a marriage your delivery is with this character" and he totally loved it, then offered to come on in and help. Same thing with Clancy Brown, we used some stuff from Shawshank Redemption, which obviously has some really great lines in it, and matched it up and "Ta da!" there it was. The proof was really in the putting.

... as surely as there's a mouse behind your ear.
