I think that earlier suggestion for Joseph Gordon Levitt is spot on! He’s an awesome actor and he’s got that look comparable to Yorrick.

I think Shia could pull off Yorick but his look and face is just so familiar now that seeing him as Yorick is hard without him actually playing the role.

But personally I’m more interested in who is going to play 355, I think Tracie Thomas (Kim in Death Proof) would be a great 355.

I loved the series up until the end. It’s like Vaughn got tired of writing, saw he had 20 pages to wrap it up in, and tried to sew everything together as best he could.

Shia might work. I sort of doubt his ability to portray a character that goes through as much as Yorick goes through. Shia is a boy, which is what Yorick is at the beginning. But Yorick becomes a man. I don’t see Shia being able to be a man.

This film will only work if it is rated R. This story draws heavily from sexuality. If that is compromised, this movie will fail.

personally? There’s a lot of sexual content in Y that I’m sure wouldn’t make it to the movie. I’m not a Shia hater but. I don’t think he could pull off anything that sexual. I just don’t. I look at him and all I see is that kid from Even Stevens.

I wanna add Ryan Gosling to my suggestions.

Please, please DJ. Think twice about casting Shia. PLEASE!!
I really loved this novel and i really don’t think Shia will be a good fit.

Im not a Shia hater, but i just don’t see him playing Yorick. He’s too goofy and he doesn’t have the seriousness of Y. Brown. I just dont see him delivering Yorick’s lines naturally.

Shia is funny because of his goofiness. People laugh at him, not his jokes.
Yorick is funny because of his smartass one liners and the things he does. People laugh at what he does and what he says.
That is what i think the difference between the two is.

My suggestions on who can be a better Yorick:
Topher Grace
Justin Long

They both have the same built as Yorick. They both have experience in comedy movies. They’re not goofy.

yeah shia will have to move from the geek kid next door to a move mature role and since its about the last man on earth sex is needed!

this movie with shia wont survive unless it has lots of sex scenes, with lots of frontal nudity.. tastefully of course.

you know YoungZe i never thought about it from THAT point of view….its just that he declaress his love for Beth and all bla bla bla and then goes fuck while trying to find her.

[...] Slash Films, además de otros sitios, acudieron a una visita guiada por los estudios Dreamwork… y tuvieron la oportunidad de charlar con el director D.J. Caruso. Enfrascado ahora mismo en rematar con la post-producción de Eagle Eye (2008), Caruso no se cortó un pelo a la hora de hablar de Y: The Last Man (¿2010?) y ofrecer geniales noticias entorno al proyecto. Cuenta el director que ahora que New Line es parte de Warner Bros., el pez grande tiene unas ganas locas por sacar adelante el proyecto, y si puede ser antes mejor que después. Afirma que Carl Ellsworth entregará un guión definitivo a la major antes de lo previsto y que confía en tener lista la película para el verano del 2010! De hecho indica que ha estado hablando con Shia LaBeouf sobre su posible participación interpretando a Yorick Brown y que está encantado con la idea. Caruso apunta que en si todo fuera ideal comenzaría el rodaje del film a principios del 2009, que lo ve como una trilogía, y que puede que finalmente sea producido por Warner Bros. y no por New Line, lo que aumentaría el presupuesto dada las notables diferencias en cuanto a líneas de producción que plantean ambos sellos. D.J. Caruso habla también de lo encantado que está Brian K. Vaughn con el nuevo curso que está tomando el film y lo realmente cercano que está en estos momentos. De hecho Warner Bros. busca desesperadamente proyectos para estrenar en el 2010 y llenar las pantallas de pelotazos que hagan buenos puñados de dinero. [...]

I’m not a fan of Shia either. I’m thinking perhaps Ron Livingston (Office Space) — he has the combination of the humor and the seriousness (from Band of Brothers), although maybe he’s a bit too old. My friend suggested the guy that plays Daniel Farraday from Lost. Other suggestions?

From what I’ve read it’s a really good series. I’m iffy on Shia but I’ve never really hated him, he has to really act this time though. There’s a lot of subtext about cloning and abortion and I’m hoping they don’t dumb it down for mass consumption.

Oh come ON! He is the last guy on earth for christ sake! This is a chance you might never ever get again. At first i thought Y: The last man was some kind of porn comic where a guy tries to repopulate the human race. At least that would be realistic.

Ok Shia is like perfect for the role and i like his movies.
I searched this on wikipedia and it looks like a great story but jeez after he proposes to Beth and goes looking for her he at least fucks 3 girls and claims he loves her???? hum…..yeah right!

but if they get the story right and everything else i guess it will be at least ok.

I am so fricking psyched for this shit. Def one of the best graphic novel series of all time and its a completly orig story. I think it will be a big hit.
I know everybody hates Shia LaBeouf but strangly I think that he could pull off Yorrick Brown pretty easily. A HBO mini series would suck some serious balls.. this needs to go to the big screen.
Hell yeah… Y rocks ass.. !!
