The project is now on the fast track after the studio suits had a very positive response to the latest draft of the script from former "Jericho" writers Matthew Federman and Stephen Scaia.
The comic 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.
Now, the studio is to have already begun the process of meeting with potential directors to hire for the project. The writing duo were hired back in March and started over, ditching the previous draft from Carl Ellsworth.
Both D.J. Caruso ("Disturbia") and Louis Leterrier ("The Incredible Hulk") were previously attached to helm the film while Shia Labeouf and singer Alicia Keys were linked to star. None of them are expected to return.
