Baruchel Says "Goon" Sequel On The Way

The hockey comedy "Goon" looks like it's getting a sequel.

Actor/writer Jay Baruchel took to Twitter to confirm that he and Jesse Chabot are working on a script for a  sequel.

Evan Goldberg, who co-wrote the original with Baruchel, is back to produce. Michael Dowse is will be returning to direct.

The first pic follows a bouncer (Sean William Scott) who becomes an enforcer on an underdog semi-pro hockey team.

For fans concerned that a sequel is being rushed, Baruchel posted the following in an attempt to assure fans that they need not worry.


"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."
