Y: The Last Man Movie Adaptation!

February 12, 2009 - 10:00 am 1 Comment

I’m currently reading this comic. The story’s plot revolves around an incident that kills everything that has a Y chromosome (That’s all the male species for those who don’t understand :) )

Here comes protagonist Yorick Brown, a guy out of college looking for a job. He just adopted a pet monkey named Ampersand and was currently proposing to his girlfriend Beth Deville when the incident happened.

So what happens when Yorick finds out he’s the only man alive O.o

Here starts the story of Yorick’s adventures of finding his true love Beth. Kinda romantic don’t you think?

Y: The Last Man was created by famed comic book writter Brian K. Vaughan.

I happened to google the comic and found out that a film adapatation was on-going.

The film will be directed by D.J. Caruso.

Here’s an except from Caruso about the movie:

Caruso: it’s been a while. I think it’s one of those that the source material is fantastic stuff, it’s great, but it’s a tough one to lick into getting into a screenplay. I’ve tried to feel like it’s a trilogy of movies and I think everyone sort of agrees, but at the same time, just getting the first movie right and getting the right beats and knowing what to put in, it’s been really tough. You have great minds like David Goyer and you’ve got Carl Ellsworth and you’ve got Brian K. Vaughn, and I’m working with them to just kind of crack it and get it down. And we’re almost there. I know it’s a slow process, but I think eventually we’ll get it. We’re going to get it and we’ll get it right, but we had a pretty good breakthrough a couple weeks ago in the final act, and hopefully we’ll get there.

So who will play Yorick? According to rumors Shia LaBouff, Ryan Reynolds, Joseph Gordon-Levitt or Topher Grace are all eligible.

    I just finished reading the comic and it's an amazing story. It would be nice to see Topher Grace act as Yorick. I really hope they don't pick Shia LaBouff, it will ruin the movie.
