I don't get this, or maybe I'm just confused...wasn't James the vampire that was in like fifty pages of Twilight before getting knocked off so that Victoria was all pissed for the next three books about it?
Wouldn't Jacob or Alice make more sense? Or did they change James' part to be huge?
Of course, I can't take any book too seriously that has a James and the line "So, it would seem" without it being Norrington.
Nicolas Cage will play a 14th century knight (you heard me) transporting a girl suspected of being the witch behind the Black Plague...
Please, please let them stop selling him as a romantic lead. At least until he finds a better wig-fitter.
In other words: A comic book about a world entirely filled with women is going to turn into a movie about a dude.
I have every volume of Y: The Last Man lovingly arranged on top of my bookshelf and this is making me mad enough to spit. I mean, yes, Yorick is the main character but he's not the whole point of the story. The real meat was the reorganized world, not the extended chase sequence (which was little more than a show-and-tell device for the many, many subplots- and all the women.) How are they even going to be telling the same story ?
D.J. Caruso describes a "major plot change" in Y: The Last Man movie
So, basically, they're removing the complex worldbuilding and turning it into the story of a boy's search for his monkey. But then, they're adding in a ticking clock element to try to make it not just a story about a boy and his monkey...in a way that makes it even more about a boy and his monkey?! ARGH! So rage inducing. When will they learn to leave things alone?

Heheh. I can't take the book seriously at all. It does look like they've expanded James' part in the film.
