Y: The Last Man

Someone give us some detail on this comic-book series. I've never heard of it. It's being made into a movie, by the way.

[/font] [font=Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Sans Serif]Screenwriter Jeff Vintar (I, Robot) told SCI FI Wire that he is adaptating Brian K. Vaughan's comic book Y: The Last Man for the big screen. The series focuses on the aftermath of a plague that wipes out all but one male, leaving him and the race of remaining women to figure out what happened. Vintar said in an interview that the challenge will be creating a satisfying ending, since the comic series is ongoing.[/font]

[font=Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Sans Serif]"Brian probably only has a vague idea of how it's going to end, because he's got three more years writing it," Vintar said. "The world may not be saved. The men are not going to come back. [Like] in a zombie film, you know the zombies are not going to go away, and yet at the end of the film, you want to feel like you've reached a dramatic high. It's not always easy. Not every film does it."[/font]

[font=Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Sans Serif]David Goyer (Blade III) is producing the film, but has refrained from giving input from his own experience adapting comic books to film. "Coming from the writing side, I think that he has been where [I'm] sitting before, and he has gone out of his way to not get in the way," Vintar said. "He's there. He's offered many times, [saying] 'I'm here whenever you need me.' But he's very accommodating, very much hands off, which is nice. I appreciate that."[/font]

 

Sure that's not Y2B:The Man?

 

I'll start a thread on that one later.

 

Good lord talk about being pussy whipped.

 

Lancelot will probably show up and ruin everything.
