Y: The Last Man – The Movie
Y: The Last Man, is a comic book series about a man an his monkey. More specifically, the series is about a plague that wipes out every mammal with a Y chromosome on the planet….except the last man, Yorik Brown, and his monkey, Ampersand.
Only females are left.
According to Wikipedia:
“Society is plunged into chaos as infrastructures collapse and the surviving women everywhere try to cope with the loss of the men, their survivors’ guilt, and the knowledge that humanity is doomed to extinction. Vaughan meticulously crafts the new society that emerges out of this chaos, from the conversion of the phallic Washington Monument into a monument to the dead men, to the genesis of the fanatical ultra-feminist Daughters of the Amazon, who believe that Mother Earth cleansed itself of the “aberration” of the Y chromosome, to male impersonators becoming valued romantically and professionally.”
Evidently, New Line Cinema bought the movie rights and a script, director and producer have been attached to the project. Filming is set for 2008, although some sites on the net have reported that the project is slow going.
All I can say is “why the hell haven’t I heard of this before now?” This is awesome. Let me re-iterate….A MAN and his MONKEY and a world full of FEMALES are all that is left.
If it was me, I can imagine the conversation going something like this:
FEMALES: “Hey Admin, we need to continue the existence of man kind. Would you mind pumping these 50,000 women full of sperm?”
ADMIN: “Sure”
I guess, with the good comes the bad. No more good sports….I mean can you imagine a world full of nothing but the WNBA?
Anyway, I’ll be on the lookout for more info about this as the movie is developed.

I have more than once wondered what it would be like to be the last man on Earth. It would be very bitter sweet. You would have to develop a “secret service” like posse of babe assasin/protectors to protect you from the fanatics. You could pay them by giving them some of your man thrusts on an agreed to periodic basis. Very good but dangerous times you would live.

This is actually supposed to be one of the better comics going. I have not read it, because it just finished recenly. I’m actually going to by the trade paperbacks of this and read the entire series because pretty much everyone who has reviewed it has said it was really well done.
I think they are in the process of making a movie based on the series.

i read the first two story arcs thanks to admin and it is not bad. I have some complaints with it but nothing that is going to stop me from checking out the rest of the series.
This is good stuff. I hear that guy that was in transformers was supposed to be cast as Yorick but he did not like the script and said it was too much like his transformers charactor for him to do it. It seems the movie is not really doing much at this point

yeah, having now read about the same amount as Soitgoes in this series, I take my original comments above back.
living with all women in the world sounds f-ing awful. I don’t know what the hell I was thinking about.
It would have its “ups”, but having lesbian crazy women hunting you down because they don’t want any chance of male procreation – well…that just doesn’t sound fun to me.
Anyway, if a movie was made from the source material I think it would be pretty cool. Lots of good story lines (some with fault – as soitgoes notes above).

i read they planned to do the movie on the first 17 issues and try to make it into a trilogy covering about 20 issues in each movie.
Dude is in a good situation he just needs to take care of himself and not get thrown in a room and made into a milking sperm bank.
He just needs to run with the right crowd that would insist on doing it the old fashion way.
