JackFetch Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 New Line has set D.J. Caruso to direct and Carl Ellsworth to write the comic book adaptation Y: The Last Man for producers Chris Bender, JC Spink, Mason Novick and David Goyer, reports Variety. The project reteams Caruso and Ellsworth following their work for Paramount/DreamWorks on Disturbia. The story centers on a mysterious plague killing nearly all the world's male mammals overnight. A magician who's the only survivor among this group and his male pet monkey set out to find what may have wiped out the male chromosomes. The comic "Y: The Last Man" was created by Brian K. Vaughn and Pia Guerra and published by Vertigo. I'm not sure how I feel about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 I'm not sure how I feel about this. I'm pretty damn excited, although like most non-superhero comic adaptations I think it would work better as a mini-series than a film. Still, the budget will come in hand for the "every guy in the world drops dead" montage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drqshadow Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 Yeah, this could actually work... the story is divided into enough self-contained chapters that you could lop off a great deal of the sidetracks without losing any of the main plot. There aren't a ton of lead characters to introduce and flesh out, either, so they could really get into the kind of characterization that a story like this needs.
