BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE Featurette

The Goon Gets A Kickstarter Campaign

A kickstarter campaign for a David Fincher movie?

Yes, indeed.

The venerable director, along with Tim Miller of Blur Studios and Dark Horse Studios, has taken to crowdfunding to help fund the development of an animated feature based on The Goon, the off-beat Eric Powell comic book

The movie has been in development for a couple of years – Fincher is executive producing with Miller co-directing with Jeff Fowler – and thousands of dollars has been spent. An animated proof of concept clip was created and shown at Comic-Con but the project hasn’t gone to the next level since finding a financier to back an animated film that isn’t all-ages or family entertainment is seen as risky. (Tim Burton and Disney's Frankenweenie, which pushes the edges of kid horror and is only PG, is currenty struggling at the box office.)

And Goon is definitely in the PG-13 mold (ratings aren't official until after the MPAA has its say). It’s a paranormal-themed quirky comic that mixes humor and violence and features everything from cannibals to zombies centering on a large enforcer whose main nemesis is a zombie priest.

In a video released today Fincher shows off a humorous side as he and Miller ask for $400,000 to help fund a story reel. As is customary with Kickstarter campaigns, there are goodies offered to donors, with top clam-tossers receiving original Goon art from Powell and a private screening of the finished story reel with Fincher, Powell, Miller and others in attendance with a lunch afterwards.

"Does Hollywood know better than you?,” asks Fincher in the video. He's hoping the answer is a resounding "no," or even better, "cha-ching."

Sex Tape Review: Overly Sexual, Rude, Vulgar, and Absolutely Hilarious

The raunchy Sex Tape will divide audiences and critics, but who cares? Sex Tape suggests a growing practice among loving partners: that of making a raunchy testament of their escapades for posterity. But what happens when that evidence gets seen by friends, neighbors, and even the mailman? This is the plot that pits Jay (Jason Segel) and Annie (Cameron Diaz) in an effort to secure every iPad gift Jay has given, his record company playlists being the envy of the recipients, but which has also inadvertently spread the video to every device. The reason for the act - termed in the movie as pulling "the full Lincoln " for its three-hour length - stems from the couple's non-existent social life, brought on by the constant demands of their children. The couple has a lot to lose: a burgeoning business relationship between Annie and Hank (Rob Lowe) could end if the iPad she's given to Hank exposes the video, and so the couple sets out to reclaim and wipe the incrim
