‘Goon’ Red-Band And Canadian Trailers: Seann William Scott Fights On Ice [Updated]

Because film development has turned into a game that is more competitive than most sports, we have dueling pictures brewing for a great many subjects. Hockey is a pretty natural subject for a movie duel, however. The filmGoonis the first of two to come out of the gate.

Goon starsSeann William Scottas a bouncer who is recruited for a minor league hockey team based on his domineering fighting skills. Magnet bought the movie for US distribution after it premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival, and we’ve already seena Canadian teaser trailerthat showed off the movie’s basic look and tone.

Now here’s the full trailer that will play in Canada; we can probably expect basically the same clip to be released for US audiences with the Magnet logo tacked on. Check it out below.

Update:A red-band US trailer hit today, too, and has been added below.

Thanks toJoBlofor the trailer.

And here’s the US red-band version, premiered today onIGN:

So, as you can see, the movie featuresLiev Schreiberas the glowering nemesis of Scott’s character;Alison Pillis a feisty romantic interest andJay Baruchel, who co-wrote withEvan Goldberg(Superbadco-writer), shows up as the host of a hockey show and Scott’s friend. The film is inspired by the bookGoon: The True Story of an Unlikely Journey into Minor League Hockey, written byDoug SmithandAdam Frattasio.

(And, for what its worth, Kevin Smithhas saidthat there are few real similarities between his script for Hit Somebody and this movie. Both are about hockey, but that is where he says the resemblance ends.)
