Seann William Scott and Jay Baruchel will star in the hockey comedy "Goon."
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Michael Dowse is directing a cast that also includes Alison Pill and Marc-Andre Grondin.
Shooting begins in mid-October in Winnipeg.
Baruchel and Evan Goldberg wrote the script, based on the book "Goon: The True Story of an Unlikely Journey into Minor League Hockey" by Doug Smith and Adam Frattasio.
Baruchel is also producing with David Gross, Jesse Shapira and DCP Productions' Don Carmody.
The film centers on bouncer Doug Glatt (Scott), who upon discovering his right hook and ability to skate, joins a floundering hockey team and inspires them to new heights.
Baruchel plays Glatt's best friend.
Scott last starred opposite Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan in Kevin Smith's "Cop Out."
Baruchel starred in "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" and voiced the lead character in the animated film "How to Train Your Dragon."
