Eugene Levy Teams Up With “Goon”
Eugene Levy (”American Pie”) is set to star opposite Seann William Scott, Jay Baruchel and Liev Schreiber in Michael Dowse’s indie laffer “Goon.” Baruchel and Evan Goldberg penned the script, which was inspired by Doug Smith and Adam Frattasio’s book “Goon: The True Story of an Unlikely Journey Into Minor League Hockey.” Myriad Pictures, which handles foreign sales, will launch the pic at the American Film Market, which gets under way next week in Santa Monica. Alison Pill also stars. Pic revolves around a slacker and born brawler who’s invited to join a minor league hockey team. Persuaded by his best friend to accept the offer, he becomes the hero of the team — until the league’s reigning goon decides to take him down.
