D.J. Caruso briefly talked about the Y the Last Man movie in an USA Today article that talked about the comic book series ending. What did the article say?
A film version is in development with Disturbia screenwriter Carl Ellsworth and director D.J. Caruso attached. Caruso says he has had "preliminary discussions" with Shia LaBeouf to play Yorick.
"For me, thematically, the most important thing and the reason I want to do this is … I don't want to say it's the end of the innocence, but it's actually a man-child who has to become a real man now," Caruso says. "I think it's a really simple, beautiful theme, but at the same time, the movie's really pop-culture entertainment."
While the original plan was to squeeze the entire series into one movie, Caruso says the film will cover the first 14 issues of the comics. He adds that this opens the door for a trilogy.
A trilogy would be cool and for those who read the comic - what do you think of Shia? He certainly looks like the main character Yorick, doesn't he??? Some peeps hate on Shia, but I think he has what it takes to play the last man on Earth...
