Y: The Last Man Movie To Be a Trilogy?

The final issue of Brian K. Vaughan’s comic series Y: The Last Man hits stores tomorrow, and for a lot of people, it’s somewhat bittersweet to see it come to an end. The story of a post-apocalyptic world without men was pretty unique, particularly within the world of comics. Still, I’m glad they stuck to their guns and ended it after 60 issues, just like they said they would in the first place.

Fans of Y: The Last Man, still have the big screen adaptation to look forward to, but a lot of people have been wondering how they could possibly tell the whole story in a single movie. Well it looks like director D.J. Caruso (Disturbia) has been wondering this as well, and in an interview with USA Today this week, he revealed that the film will actually cover only the first 14 issues. The plan, it seems, is to set it up to be a trilogy. While I am getting a little sick of the fact that everything has to be a trilogy nowadays, I have to admit that this makes good sense for Y: The Last Man. Ideally, I still think it would be better suited for television (as would most serialized comic stories) but this could be a good way to approach it.

Caruso also confirmed what we had all been thinking all along, he has had “preliminary discussions” with Shia LaBeouf to star as the main character Yorick. But hey, you know what? I’m okay with that. I just hope this movie doesn’t take another 5 years to get made… I need my next Y fix soon!

  1. After seeing Disturbia, which I was amazed to find pretty darn entertaining, I am 100% behind Caruso and LaBeouf tackling this story. Count me in.

  2. The director isn’t working for me. Also, Y: The Last Man doesn’t really have the cg balls to go up against many other sci-fi films and probably would be better as a series.

  3. I think I would prefer Justin Long as the lead (well only) man for this role. He looks the part and I think he would be a pretty decent action/drama acting.
