Will Shia LaBeouf Become Y: The Last Man?

Added by G-Man on Dec. 16, 2008

Shia LaBeouf's next role?

Both Red L.A.M.P. and myself have been praising Brian K. Vaughan's Y: The Last Man for some time now. The story is all the males on Earth suddenly die except Yorick Brown. Different factions of women are after him, some to kill him and others wanting to kill him.

Shia LaBeouf has expressed interest in the role in the past and Director D.J. Caruso (who also directed Shia in "Eagle Eye" and "Disturbia") is waiting for their schedules to match up. Caruso is working on the script at the moment. LaBeouf has recently suffered a slight injury and has just finished the sequel to Transformers. Perhaps things will line up soon.

Caruso has also stated that he sees the story of Y as being spread out over three films (the series was sixty issues).

i hate shia labeouf...it's nothing against his acting skills he's a good actor....but the little s.o.b. got to make out with megan fox and that's why i hate him

i do like y: the last man though and it being 3 films sounds like a good idea maybe they'll be smart and film them back to back like lord of the rings

Im stoked for this movie to be made. I think it should be done in 2 or 3 parts though. Shia would be great. I also like Adam Brody for the part. But maybe it would be just better to get a new no-name actor. And please no male model style actors.

Shia is becoming one of the est actors of this generation. I think it would be great

I really hope not, but it sounds likely. I cannot stand him as an actor or a person. He helped ruin Constantine, and he was horrible in Transformers and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Ruined Movie Franchise. Y:TLM is way too good for him, and I can't see any way he'd do justice to the part.

This is sad and funny at the same time.

There've been rumors about Alicia Keys playing Agent 355. Caruso said they haven't gone to casting yet. She was good in "Smokin' Aces" (even though that movie was a little whacky).

That is what Steven Spielberg thinks but I guess he doesn't know anything about that kind of thing

Stephen Spielberg doesn't knows his ass from his ear these days. But I have my own opinions, I don't take my cues from directors who are ailing at their craft.

Hey man your opinion is your own and I will respect that but I disagree

Many people will, I'm sure.

What are you guys on? Shia Laboef is undoubtedly one of the worst actors of this generation. He completely ruins everything he's in. Blargh!

I beg to differ. Eagle Eye, Transformers even Holes were all really good movies. Even his smaller parts in I Robot and Constantine were good.

I see Shia Lebeef and all I think is wtf was Rihanna thinking? Not a fan of the goofball. Won't keep me from seeing a Y the Last Man movie but will keep me from seeing just about everything else he's in. Other movies where his role is to run away and act surprised/scared 90% of the time haven't been particularly impressive. He's no Harrison Ford.

Since when did Leabeouf become Hollywood's actor for everything?

Shia Lebeouf is a Beast... ever since that independent film he did " Battle Of Shaker Heights "... I thought he was awesome... and when he was on Even Stevens...

lol

Maybe if the movie was called Y: The Last Boy.

What happened to Hollywood. Used to have men in men's roles.
