For the last few years, director D.J.
has always said he wanted Shia LaBeouf to play the series' protagonist Yorick Brown.
Not so fast, says Shia.

You see, yesterday I sat down with the in-demand actor as a reporter for our partner websiteOmelete.
DJ is making a different movie right now.
He’s making “Jack and the Beanstalk”.
More after the jump:
Here’s the video.
The transcript of what he said is further down.
Look for the full interview tomorrow night or Tuesday morning.
Are you talking about “Y: The Last Man”?
And I love “Y”!
“Y” is my favorite comic book.
I have to say I was disappointed when I heard you were not interested…
Shia: Am!
It’s the stuff that I love.
“Y: The Last Man” is my favorite comic book.
It’s also DJ Caruso’s favorite comic book.
We DO want to make it.
It’s just too “Sam Witwicky”.
Shia: It’s not as big as a variation for me.
I want to do something that’s foreign.
I know you’re doing “Wall Street 2” and you have other things on the horizon.
Could you see yourself coming to it in two or three years?
Shia: Absolutely, man!
In fact, that’s what’s going on right now.
Vaughn and Ellsworth and DJ are writing the script now.
The script is not ready to be shot.
DJ is making a different movie right now.
He’s making “Jack and the Beanstalk”.
But I don’t think Vaughn is trying to give it to anybody else.
Okay, so you’re saying there’s still a chance.
