Y: The Last Man (Leterrier?)

[GreenScar]

Brian K. Vaughn went out with a new spec script called “The Vault” this week.

But what of his masterpiece “Y: The Last Man?”

The film was supposedly set up with Director D.J. Caruso and star Shia LaBeouf but since has moved slowly through development.

Our notorious trusted source 'Pinche Taco' got some new information about the project "Y: The Last Man."

Here is what he has to say:

Hola Chicos, Pinche Taco here with the latest blatherings de nada de los Ninos de Hollywood!

What is the best graphic novel series of the last ten years? If you said anything by Mark Millar you’d be wrong. (horrible reviews for NEMESIS there, Mark). The correct answer would be Y THE LAST MAN. This genius masterwork by artisto Brian Vaughan, who also wrote some of the best LOST episodes, tells the story of one young adult’s journey through a world without men. That’s right- the men all be dead except this one hombre y su monkey. Great reading, great art and great times.

Now the talented David “Los Gatos” Goyer set this up at New Line back like siete freakin’ years ago. Unfortunately he is working with these two managers, Spink and Bender. Take it from the Taco, when managers pretend to “produce” you end up with either a shit movie or no movie at all. So they paid a screenwriter to write a bad draft, then Vaughan wrote a great draft, then another screenwriter wrote some mierda and then boom, coma time.

Now New Line Cinema owns this – they paid almost a million bucks for the rights and more for the unused screenplays. But there is a good cop/weird cop vibe going on como los peliculas at New Line. The Chairman Toby wants to make limp dick movies like Valentine’s Day and He’s Not That Into Your Pants. The President Brenner wants to make Y The Last Man. And like that episode of Star Trek that featured the Riddler, the battle is eternal. Que Triste!

So they last tried to make this film two years ago. Shia “Robot Hand” LaBeouf was gonna play the main guy and El Mayimbe was gonna play the chimp (un chiste). But the forces of Toby prevailed and instead we got Sara Jessica Parker and the Cougars.

Well good news. El Taco can dice EXCLUSIVO that director Louis Leterrier is circling Y THE LAST MAN. Sure, Clash of the Titans looks craptastic and The Incredible Hulk wasn’t incredible but someone is trying to direct the movie which hopefully will give power to Team Brenner to find a good director.

Now some reports last week mentioned Louis for Marvel’s THE AVENGERS but if you read exactamente you would see that it was LOUIS who was pimping himself. See, there’s no one really in charge of Marvel at the moment as they merge with Disney. Everyone knows that Kevin Feige walks funny because he has Avi Arad’s hand up his ass puppeting him and that Avi has been lobbying Disney to give him back control of Marvel- which they don’t want, being sane and all. So no one is making future decisions for the time being. So don’t count on La Francais directore para Los Avengers!

Anything that helps Y happen is a good thing. All of the above is just mi picolo opinion, but of course.

Yo so EL TACO y los quieros a todos!
