It will go down as one of the greatest comic series of all time, thanks to its legendary creator Brian K. Vaughan. We were promised 60 issues of Y: The Last Man and we got 60 issues, and no more. But what about the movie?
That there is a movie in the works for Y: The Last Man is no surprise. It has got director D.J. Caruso leading it with Carl Ellsworth screenwriting. In addition, Caruso 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."
More good news for fans of the series is that instead of attempting to cram all 60 issues in to one movie, Caruso is planning to only include the first 14. He added that this naturally opens the door for turning it in to a trilogy of movies.
