“Y: The Last Man” taps “Portal: No Escape” director Dan Trachtenberg

“Y: The Last Man” has finally found itself a director. After settling down on “Jericho” scribes Matt Federman and Stephen Scaia to pen the script, New Line has decided to hire former “Totally Rad Show” host Dan Trachtenberg to helm the project.

Though Trachtenberg doesn’t have any feature films under his belt, he did make waves with the “Portal” fan film “Portal: No Escape.” He’s already got the nerd cred to take on a beloved project like “Y: The Last Man” and he’s clearly got the talent, so it’s exciting that he’s been paired with the Brian K. Vaughn comic book series.

Deadline broke the news of the deal. The site mentions that Trachtenberg is also slated to direct “Crime of the Century” for Universal. No word yet when New Line is planning for “Y: The Last Man” to be released.

For those of you not in the know, “Y: The Last Man” takes place after a mysterious calamity kills every man on earth except for one and his pet monkey. The female survivors quickly create a new world order, but realize that they won’t be able to continue living without leading man Yorick Brown. Things quickly spiral out of control from there.

For a taste of what a “Y: The Last Man” movie could look like, check out this fan film:

And, for good measure, here’s “Portal: No Escape”:

The Best Of The Last

Portlandia Goes Out With A Bang

Posted by on

The end is near. In mere days Portlandia wraps up its final season, and oh what a season it’s been. Lucky for you, you can watch the entire season right now right here and on the IFC app, including this free episode courtesy of Subaru.

But now, let’s take a moment to look back at some of the new classics Fred and Carrie have so thoughtfully bestowed upon us. (We’ll be looking back through tear-blurred eyes, but you do you.)

Couples Dinner

It’s not that being single sucks, it’s that you suck if you’re single.

Cancel it!

A sketch for anyone who has cancelled more appointments than they’ve kept. Which is everyone.

Forgotten America

This one’s a “Serial” killer…everything both right and wrong about true crime podcasts.

Wedding Planners

The only bad wedding is a boring wedding.

Disaster Hut

It’s only the end of the world if your doomsday kit doesn’t include rosé.

Catch up on Portlandia’s final episodes on demand and at IFC.com

Your Portlandia Personality Test

The New Portlandia Webseries Is Going Your Way

Posted by on

Carrie and Fred understand that although we have so much in common, we’re each so beautifully unique and different. To help us navigate those differences, Portlandia has found an easy and honest way to embrace our special selves in the form of a progressive new traffic system: a specific lane for every kind of driver. It’s all in honor of the show’s 8th and final season, and it’s all presented by Subaru.

Ready to find out who you really are? Match your personality to a lane and hop on the expressway to self-understanding.

Lane 10: Trucks Piled With Junk

Your junk is falling out of your trunk. Shake a tail light, people — this lane is for you.

Lane 33: Twins

You’re like a Gemini, but waaaay more pedestrian. Maybe you and a friend just wear the same outfits a lot. Who cares, it’s just twinning enough to make you feel special.

Lane 27: Broken Windows

Bad luck follows you around and everyone knows it. Your proverbial seat is always damp from proverbial rain. Is this the universe telling you to swallow your pride? Yes.

Lane 69: Filthy Cars

You’re all about convenience. Getting your car washed while you drive is a no-brainer.

Lane 43: Newly Divorced Singles

It’s been a while since you’ve driven alone, and you don’t know the rules of the road anymore. What’s too fast? What’s too slow? Are you sending the right signals? Don’t worry, the breakdown lane is nearby if you need it.

Still can’t find a lane to match your personality? Check out all the videos here. And see the final season of Portlandia this spring on IFC.
