Liev Schreiber and Alison Pill ("Milk") have been cast in the indie hockey comedy "Goon," an individual familiar with the project has told TheWrap.
Seann William Scott stars as a bouncer who joins a rag-tag hockey team and inspires them to greatness.
"The Sorceror's Apprentice" star Jay Baruchel will play his best friend, while Marc-Andre Grondin ("C.R.A.Z.Y.") is set to play a French-Canadian hockey star in the film.
Schreiber's role remains unclear, though Pill will play the female lead.
Michael Dowse is directing from a screenplay by Baruchel and Evan Goldberg, who co-wrote "Superbad" with Seth Rogen. The project is inspired by Doug Smith and Adam Frattasio's book "Goon: The True Story of an Unlikely Journey into Minor League Hockey."
