Shia LeBeouf possibly in "Y: The last Man"!
The acclaimed young Star is possibly "Yorick Brown" in the film adaption of "Y: The last Man"!
An adaptation Brian K. Vaughan's Vertigo comic Y: THE LAST MAN has struggled a bit on the path to theaters, but it might get a boost of LaBeouf. JoBlo reader Jean-Michel C. (merci, mon ami!) informs us that while promoting DISTURBIA in France, Shia expressed substantial interest in playing the lead role in the Y film, proclaiming the series one of the best comics around.
Y: THE LAST MAN follows the journey of amateur magician Yorick, the only guy left on the planet (plus his monkey) after a plague wipes out the entire male gender – but he quickly discovers that a world of women is not quite paradise. Vaughan's comic got scooped up a few years ago for the feature film treatment, but has since been mired in the development stages. Maybe with LaBeouf's interest (which at this point is just that -- but the actor is currently under everyone's spotlight) and Vaughan's own climbing status (he's part of LOST's writing staff now), Yorick will finally make it from comic shelves into theaters.
