MTV Movie Blogs chatted up 'Disturbia' director DJ Caruso and comic book writer Brian K. Vaughn about the 'Y: The Last Man' film adaptation.
'Y' is reaching its 60th issue, but Caruso and 'Disturbia' screenwriter Carl Ellsworth are distilling the movie version to focus on the first 12 issues, "sort of combining them into a beginning, middle and end," Caruso said. "The problem is that even in the first 12, there is so much great stuff, it's like, what do you leave out? There really isn't a ticking clock with Yorick, so what we basically did was give him a reason to get from Boston to California in a really short time."
With Caruso and Shia LaBeouf's already-established working relationship ("Disturbia" and the upcoming "Eagle Eye"), does the director already have his "last man"? "This is funny, but unbeknownst to me: Shia was already chasing this part prior to anything," Caruso said. "I haven't talked to him yet about it because he's off shooting 'Indiana Jones 4,' but Shia is the right type and the right personality because you want to have the humor, but you also want to have the seriousness. So we'll talk about it when we get there."
