Do you need more hockey movies in your life? Of course you do! Well, last years hockey comedy Goon is getting a sequel. Earlier today writer/star Jay Baruchel tweeted that there will indeed be a sequel. The original starred Sean William Scott (American Pie) as Doug Glatt, the black sheep of his pretty brainy family. Glatt works as a bouncer until an opportunity arises for him to be an enforcer on an underdog semi-pro hockey team.
Actually, just check out our review for it here. While there has been no word as far as what the plot will be for the sequel, Baruchel will return to write the script with Jesse Chabot, director Michael Dowse will also return to direct the sequel. Evan Goldberg, who co-wrote the original, will return as a producer. Baruchel also tweeted:
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.
So, hopefully this means that the original cast will be returning as well? I really hope so.
