Brian K. Vaughn chats up About Comics regarding the movie version of his acclaimed series 'Y: The Last Man':
"Everything's in carbonite freeze right now because of the WGA strike," reports Vaughn. "New Line was nice enough to let me take a stab at writing a draft of the screenplay, and I'm really proud of what I wrote and very grateful for the opportunity, but there's no guarantee that it'll be used, or that the film will ever even be made.
"And to be honest, that's fine with me. Pia and I made a nice amount of scratch from the deal, and it might be fun to see a live-action version of our characters, but I never saw our series as glorified storyboards. Comics are obviously a unique medium with lots of strengths that film and television will never have, and I only ever envisioned Y as a comic."
"So it's always a little disheartening when people tell me that they'll be crushed if Y never becomes a movie or an HBO series or whatever, like the comic was just the means to an end. The only destination that ever mattered to me was Issue #60."
