Additional casting has been announced for the new film Goon, according to a report in Variety.

Tony Award nominee and Drama Desk Award winner Alison Pill and Tony Award and Drama Desk Award winner Liev Schreiber will be part of the cast, alongside Seann William Scott, Marc-Andre Grondin, Eugene Levy, and Jay Baruchel.

Michael Dowse will direct the film, which is written by Baruchel and Evan Goldberg, and is inspired by the book Goon: The True Story of an Unlikely Journey into Minor League Hockey, by Doug Smith and Adam Frattasio.

Scott will star as Doug Glatt, a bouncer who discovers both his right hook and skates, and then joins a downtrodden hockey team and inspires them into new heights.
