What a nice bit of timing for Brian K. Vaughan. No sooner than his much anticipated return to monthly comics, Saga, debuts than news breaks that the film version of his most beloved work, Y: The Last Man, is progressing apace. The Hollywood Reporter brings word that Matthew Federman and Stephen Scaia are set to adapt Vaughan and artist Pia Guerra's hit sci-fi series about the last man on Earth for New Line Cinema. Although the Vertigo project has been in development for years, THR reports that the new script is starting from scratch.
Created by Vaughan and Guerra and available from Vertigo in paperback and hardcover collections, Y: The Last Man stars an amateur young escape artist called Yorrick and his pet monkey, Ampersand, last living male mammals on Earth. A mysterious plague caused every other living thing with a Y chromosome to drop dead simultaneously, ending society (not to mention the human race) as we know it. Unable to account for his and Ampersand's survival and terrified of being discovered, Yorrick and his pet leave their home in New York on a quest for Beth, Yorrick's beloved girlfriend who was all the way in Australia when civilization ended. Yorrick's existence is exposed along the way, as is the truth behind the apocalyptic plague.
