442736, They 're about to butcher my favorite comic Posted by Nappy Soul, Wed Mar-25-09 03:12 AM
I just finished all 10 books of Y: The Last man and it blew me away from beginning to end.
Now is see this:http://www.slashfilm.com/2008/07/22/dj-carusos-y-the-last-man-in-summer-2010/ ... and this... http://www.slashfilm.com/2008/07/30/alicia-keys-as-agent-355-in-y-the-last-man/
The book is so epic and complex that they couldn't possibly fit it into a movie...Even a trilogy would seem whack.The only way it could work would be in a television show format... An HBO type show with production values on par with shows like Carnivale and True Blood. I mean Brian K. Vaughan did an excellent job on Lost and is a proven writer but the director is who I'm worried about; Disturbia and Eagle Eye? So , basically they gonna cast Shia Leboeuf as Yorick?
I really enjoyed Watchmen, despite reading the graphic novel, but Y is a different animal because the movie would be sold through the interaction between actors.Not visuals. And the fact that they already got non-real-actors like Lee lee in mind,further lets me know that this going to be a donkey show on celluloid.
