'Y: The Last Man' FX Cast Unveiled - Diane Lane and Barry Keoghan to Star(2019 Update: Series moving forward without current showrunners)
- Thread starter Cornballer
- Start date
Dammit rats. It was a good show. 😭
And it had Ian McShane!
Here is 1500 words on it from Daniel Feinberg, The 10th Anniversary of NBC's 'Kings' and the Death of the Ambitious Broadcast Drama.
I actually read that - it almost sold me on it, but like idk. I'd rather watch The Good Wife tbh. 🧚♂️
FX loves controversial stuff though, so unless Disney is starting to fuck with FX, I doubt it was that.
Except it wasn't cancelled!
I hope the final showrunners can improve upon the source material like Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage did for Runaways.
So totally confusing to read. I really enjoyed the comics so hope it gets a solid adaptation it deserves.
It feels like this show has been in pre-prod forever. Has there been any kind of trailer or anything yet?
Preacher isn't that bad. They have the spirit of the comics, the execution has just been wishy-washy. At least it has a righteous soundtrack and Joe Gilgun.

No problem - Slayven just took care of the thread title and I updated the OP.
Thanks, I almost had a heart attack reading it, I'm really looking forward to the series.
New Showrunner has been found
Best single season show ever? Best single season show ever.
Still hoping for the day that I find a genie lamp so I can resurrect Rubicon in all its glory.
Assuming Diane Lane is playing his mom, it'll be interesting to see how they beef up that character and keep her involved
Terriers was great, too, but Rubicon had me gripped every episode.
FX has not seriously disappointed me in a long time with any of their content, so I actually trust the direction they want to take the show over the showrunners right now. Does that mean the showrunners had a terrible idea or anything like that? No, but FX is one of the few networks (maybe the only one) that I'll give the benefit of the doubt to.

Me neither. I saw him on Chernobyl and I just can't get past it.
Wait, "Diane Lane-fronted"? Sounds like York's mom is going to play a much, much bigger role than the comic. Do they have anyone cast for Doctor Allison Mann yet?
I think (hope) they're just using her name because she's the most recognizable person in the cast.
I don't think they've cast Allison yet.
Yup.
Fantastic actor, one of the best newcomers. In no way shape or form right for this part.
The previous showrunners must have been going for something pretty different than the comic.
There have been so many set backs and stalls on this production at some point you have to wonder whether this show will ever see the light of day.
I'm surprised that no one has started a conspiracy theory that Disney brass don't want to make this series because the publishing rights to the original graphic novels belongs to DC and not Marvel.
In the age of the truly baffling Snyder Cut 'movement' it seems an easy sell.

Seems like the right move, but it'll be shocking if the show survives this much upheaval during development. Not impossible, but seems unlikely now.
Please just give me this show!
And while granting wishes Id finally like that Neuromancer film...

:( A shame. But not surprising.. very rare for a show to actually happen with so much development hell. But ya never know.. maybe some day. You'd have to think he would not be the only one they'll lose though as it represents a huge loss.
We'll never know now, but that would have surprised me tbh. Like others said, great in the stuff he's been in, but not necessarily the type of energy I would look for for this material.
The IP is cursed, I been hearing about a Y live action version since the early 00s
I'm honestly shocked how difficult its been. This seems like such a slam dunk and it's insanely inexpensive considering you basically need no special effects. It's like the Walking Dead without even having to pay for the make up for zombies.
Remember when Shia Leabouf was attached to a movie?
