Y: The Last Man has nabbed the writing directing team of D.J. Caruso and Carl Ellsworth - the same team behind Disturbia, the Rear Window remake.

Caruso will be developing and directing, while Ellsworth is penning the script. J.C. Spink, Chris Bender, and David Goyer are producing.

The comic, created by Brian K. Vaughan and Pia Guerra, centers on Yorick, an escape artist who is the last survivor of a mysterious plague that has killed every single male mammal in the world. With his male pet monkey, he sets out to find what might have wiped out the world’s male chromosomes.

I wasn’t a big fan of Disturbia, even though it did make four times its cost, so I am a little hesitant on this film - even with Goyer on board. Ellsworth does give me some hope as he has written episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

No word on release date.

I love a week when I have so many sneak peeks coming in that I can do bonus editions from each of the companies. This week DC Comics is on the Good List by dropping off previews for Batman #663, Justice Society of America #3, Tales of the Unexpected #5, and Y: The Last Man.

Damn that’s a lot of previews.
