Academy Award-winner Jodie Foster is reportedly in negotiations to star in FX's small-screen adaptation of Brian K. Vaughan's Y: The Last Man.

According to That Hashtag Show, Foster would play Jennifer Brown, the mother of the series' main player Yorick. The report indicates that Foster's involvement would mean a greatly expanded role for this character.

The pilot for the show was ordered earlier this year and will be directed by Melina Matsoukas (Insecure, Master of None). Production is expected to begin production towards the end of July.

I am fine with this, just get it made finally.

How is Yorick's mom the lead? Unless she is a co-lead of sorts. Yorick is the last man after all.

@BlackBeltJones - I'm assuming it'll be a co-lead thing. I guess getting Foster on board means you expand her role.

@RorMachine - "i guess getting Foster on board means you expand her role."

Cant argue with this. It is Jodie Foster after all.

I personally hated Y: The Last Man, but I've gotta say this is pretty good casting.

@BrettMan - Hated Y: The Last Man? What is this nonsense? Did you hate Saga too? East of West? Lazarus? Do you hate ice cold apple juice and Alicia Keys' smile? lol

@Asturgis - Past vol. 3, Saga is SJW garbage.

@Asturgis - I enjoyed Saga at the start, but I only read it now out of habit. Gotta agree with @TheGambitFreak

I'm just not a fan of Vaughan's work. I especially despise Runaways with a passion.

Absolutely love this comic but for the life of me just cannot figure out who I’d want to play Yorick. Any suggestions?

@CapstheMFingMan - Gotham will be canceled this season so I'd say Jim Gordon or if he's too old, the kid who plays Bruce.

@CapstheMFingMan - Pre-Flash Grant Gustin would have been perfect but now I am fine with them casting an unknown.

@CapstheMFingMan - 20 bucks says its a newcomer of some sort.

But if I had to pick, I would go with Domhall Gleason or Jamie Bell

@MUTO123 - I read this too fast and said to myself...

"they're remaking Point Break AGAIN!? LET IT DIE!"

Then read it again slowly. Excited for this lol.

@Menks123 - I've caught some bits of the Point Break remake on TV. What I've seen was really bad (especially when they re-did the firing gun in the air scene).

Menks123 - 6/21/2018, 4:33 PM
@MUTO123 - It was REALLY bad. Just awful.

And it's a shame, Edgar Ramirez and Teresa Palmer are in it and I enjoy them, but they can't save it.
