Y: The Last Man Rising by Christian Cardona
Although the official Y: The Last Man film adaptation has pretty much stalled, filmmaker Christian Cardona has decided to make his own adaptation of the popular Brian K. Vaughan and Pia Guerra Vertigo series.
Cardona has written, directed, and produced his own fan film called Y: The Last Man Rising – based on early issues of the hit series.
Here is Y: The Last Man Rising, courtesy of IGN.
Based on one of the most critically acclaimed comics of all time. A mysterious plague has wiped out all men on the planet, and women are left to pick up the pieces of society. The only surviving man is Yorick, an amateur escape artist who is the key to the continual survival of the human race. Special Agent 355 is tasked to protect his life at all costs. Luckily, she’s really good at her job…
IGN and Drake 1129 Productions are proud to present this new short film, made by super fans of the comic. It covers the initial plague that kills any mammal with a Y chromosome (except Yorick and his trusty monkey companion, Ampersand) and an awesome fight between Agent 355 and a fanatical group of Amazons.
