Leterrier-A New Man?



The film version of "Y: The Last Man" seemed to just be collecting dust--Not any longer as Clash of the Titans director Louis Leterrier is circling the pic according to Latino Review.

Brian K. Vaughan created the original acclaimed graphic novel series which follows young amateur escape artist Yorick Brown and his pet monkey Ampersand, the last two men on Earth. Something simultaneously kills every mammal on Earth possessing a Y chromosome - including embryos, fertilized eggs, and even sperm.

Society is plunged into chaos as infrastructures collapse and the surviving women everywhere try to cope with the loss of the men. Yorick goes on a mission to find his girlfriend Beth, who was on vacation in Australia.

Actor Shia Labeouf and director D.J. Caruso were at one time keen on doing the flick but last summer LaBeouf dropped out.

Leterrier, out doing press for Friday's "Clash" said he wants to direct The Avengers if asked...
