Myself and others who have read Vertigo’s Brian Vaughan written future set story Y: The Last Man could swallow it when reports some time back said that Transformers star Shia LaBeouf would be playing the lead, Yorick. Seeing him trample around the world as the only man with his pet monkey Ampersand was something to look forward to, until LaBeouf squashed it down in July’s issue of Wizard Magazine.
Shia's not Yorick anymore?
Well it seems that the friend of the Autobots in this reporter’s opinion does not know how to tell the difference between two completely different characters (between Sam and Yorick).
“I’m not willing to make that movie currently,” he says bluntly,”and may be too old to play the role by the time it does come around.”
Does he expect to be in his late thirties the next time he has some space in his schedule? Sure, he’s set to be a part of the sequel of Wall Street entitled Money Never Sleeps and The Associate. I did not know that he was completely unaccessible to team up with D.J. Caruso, the director of Disturbia and Eagle Eye, for years on end to fill the role of a man who’s edging into his late twenties. Hopefully Shia knows what he’s doing by making this decision.
