Any new "Y: The Last Man" news?

[Antonello Blueberry]

Come on, it's a no brainer. An high concept which could be done on a Lost episode budget.

 

[Dark Victory]

Never read any of the comics. Guess I'll have to check it out.

Guess? No.

Running? To buy the first trade? Yes.

Alicia Keys for 355?

So long as they stay close to what BKV wrote, it should be fine.

 

[Gotham]

Alicia Keys for 355?

So long as they stay close to what BKV wrote, it should be fine.

She was very good in Smokin' Aces. I'd like to hear a little more from Alicia (if she is eventually cast), though.

 

[Sugarculted]

Alicia Keys? Bleh.

Tracie Thoms wouldn't be a bad choice, one of the women from the second group of girls in Death Proof. She has the ideal look for Agent 355 in that film.

 

[Crook]

Christ, hearing that producer's wishlist for the role is cringing. I am hoping to god DJ uses much more tact in casting.

Tracie Thoms absolutely is the best candidate I've heard so far. Though she's not much of a name and isn't all that appealing looks-wise, so she might be out of contention solely because of it.

 

[Bat Brain]

I'm still hoping for Gina Torres

This works I'm looking forward to see who they cast for the Alter.

DJ Caruso’s Y: The Last Man in Summer 2010?

So its confirmed now that Shia is going to do the character? If so, can't wait

 

[cerealkiller182]

As far as DJ is concerned he is, but dont think its official on paper.

 

[Dark Victory]

Guess? No.

Running? To buy the first trade? Yes.

Really? It's that good? I've heard from a few people that it's decent best but now after looking up a few things about Y it's a definite purchase for me.

 

[RonStoppablefan]

As far as DJ is concerned he is, but dont think its official on paper.

Well for the producers sake I hope Shia is a done deal, he said Shia is the main man.

IESB took part in a Q & A with DJ Caruso a few days ago. "Y: The Last Man" came up at one point.

Q: So Y The Last Man is going to happen?

DJ Caruso: It's probably going to be happening, yeah. With New Line now part of Warner Brothers, Warners is now very high on the project. And Carl Ellsworth and I are probably going to deliver the script to WB/New Line by next week.

Wow, if they get Shia to do this movie it'll bring in a lot of people = $$$

 

[Antonello Blueberry]

How will Yorick perform his magic tricks without a finger?

 

[Sugarculted]

No Shia. Please, just no Shia. He doesn't resemble Yorick at all :|

 

[Crook]

Yorick's a white, doofy teenager who manages to get through life and girls with charm. I'm sorry, but that's Shia. Unless he's hideous and/or fat, I don't really think capturing a close rendition of the comic book Yorick is all too important.

 

[Sugarculted]

I just won't believe it tbh, as I think there's more teenage actors out there that would fit the bill A LOT more than Shia LeBleurgh.

 

[Evil Twin]

I just won't believe it tbh, as I think there's more teenage actors out there that would fit the bill A LOT more than Shia LeBleurgh.

Name them. And, more importantly, name all the ones that potentially can open a big movie and who D. J. Caruso trusts. If Eagle Eye turns into a hit, and I think it's going to do well, there's pretty much going to be no argument against Shia's drawing power as an actor.

 

[Silvermoth]

I would rather see Sam Huntington get the role...

And Alicia Keyes as Agent 355? No, just no.

 

[TheVileOne]

Yorick Brown is not a teenager. He's in his early-mid 20's. He's a college graduate. He's an underachiever and somewhat a slacker.

 

[Evil Twin]

More to the point, what studio exec in his right mind is going to choose an actor that's appropriate to the role and obviously on the verge of breaking out into a star over a complete unknown?

It's not like Y is a really well known property and it probably does need star power to succeed. Preferably from its lead.

 

[cerealkiller182]

And Alicia Keyes as Agent 355? No, just no.

I could see Sam Huntington, but I could also see a lot of people including Shia. Ultimately I dont think Ill be dissapointed.

 

[TheVileOne]

If its Shia then it becomes a PG-13 movie. That simple.
