D.J. Caruso will direct the upcoming adaptation of Brian K. Vaughan’s comic book series Y: The Last Man, and there have been rumours that he would once again turn to his Disturbia and Eagle Eye star Shia LaBeouf for the lead role.
Caruso addressed this topic in an interview with MTV.com: ‘This is funny, but unbeknownst to me: Shia was already chasing this part prior to anything. I haven’t talked to him yet about it because he’s off shooting ‘Indiana Jones 4,’ but Shia is the right type and the right personality because you want to have the humor, but you also want to have the seriousness. So we’ll talk about it when we get there.’
LaBeouf can currently be seen in theaters starring as Sam Witwicky in Transformers.

I prefer Obama to McCain. Now, McCain’s better than average for a Republican. And though his ads are intellectually offensive, he’s just bowing to his campaign masters and would calm down and be more sane once in office and not campaigning. But I have a few concerns with McCain on foreign policy. He’s not a full-fledged Neocon. That’s good. He opposed Reagan on Lebanon. Good. He was critical of Bush’s initial strategy in Iraq. That’s good. But there’s a problem. He thinks the Vietnam war was winnable and that the US shouldn’t have withdrawn. He’s also eager to spread democracy with force. This just isn’t a good set of beliefs for inheriting Iraq.
