Leterrier wants 'Y: The Last Man' TV series

'Clash of the Titans' director Louis Leterrier


Louis Leterrier has admitted that he is eager to adapt comic book Y: The Last Man for television.

It was reported in March that the Clash of the Titans director was in talks to helm a film version.

However, he told MTV: "It could play as a movie, but it would be very interesting as a TV show... or a three-part series. You take time to get to know your characters. You don't need your three-action set pieces that you usually need for movies."

Leterrier hinted that he would be keen to produce the potential series with a cable network.

"Frankly, with HBO and Showtime and cable shows... you can have a product that doesn't make you feel like, as soon as it's projected, it's thrown away," he claimed. "It's really a piece of art."

However, he admitted that the project was currently "kind of stuck somewhere now".

"I still want to do it," he confirmed. "I'm passionate about it. But it's stuck. People don't know what to do with it. I'd love to do it, but I need people to finance it, and [those] people... don't know if it's a TV show [or] a movie, or what it should be."

Hollywood star Shia LeBeouf and Eagle Eye director D.J. Caruso were involved in a previous attempt to bring Y: The Last Man to the screen.
