New Indie Hockey Movie Gets Its Cast

Seann William Scott and Jay Baruchel are lacing up their skates for “Goon,” an indie hockey comedy. Alison Pill and Marc-Andre Grondin are jumping onto the ice for the movie, which begins shooting in Winnipeg mid-October with Michael Dowse behind the camera. Baruchel and Evan Goldberg, the frequent collaborator of Seth Rogen, wrote the script, inspired by the book “Goon: The True Story of an Unlikely Journey into Minor League Hockey” written by Doug Smith and Adam Frattasio. Baruchel is also a producer on the project, which is being produced by DCP Productions’ Don Carmody along with David Gross and Jesse Shapira. Movie centers on Doug Glatt, a bouncer (Scott) who has been touched by the fist of God. Upon discovering both his right hook and skates, he joins a downtrodden hockey team and inspires them into new heights.
