Toronto: Magnet Attaches To Hockey Comedy Goon

Toronto, ONTARIO (September 13, 2011) – The Cuban/Wagner Companys Magnet Delivering, genre arm to Magnolia Pictures, introduced today they've taken US rights to Michael Dowses raucous hockey comedy GOON.

Inside the tradition of great sports comedies like Slapshot, GOON provides bone crushing action and laughs in equal measure. Mentioned Magnolia/Magnet Leader Eamonn Bowles: GOON can be a pucking blast. Its a whole crowd pleaser that has all the facets of the following comedy classic.Magnet plans an early on 2012 theatrical release incorporated in Magnolia’s Ultra VOD program. The seven figure deal was talked about by Magnolia SVP of Purchases Dori Begley and Mind of Legal and Business Matters Chris Matson with CAA, attorney James Feldman and Kirk DAmico of Myriad Pictures. CAA signifies Baruchel and Schreiber. The film is produced by No Trace Campings David Gross and Jesse Shapira, Don Carmody, and Jay Baruchel.
