This one has been bouncing around for a long time and never gets made
because:
- To do it right would cost a lot of money.
- Doing it right would limit the potential audience.
And yet they keep talking about it.
I'm hoping that there is someone with the power to kill anything cheap
and water down or else one day that's what we're going to get.
Otherwise: Never going to happen.

It would seem even less adaptable than Watchmen. Not, I think so much
in terms of its revolutionary technical accomplishments or
experimental narrative or anything, but so many of the characters have
such long arcs and complicated backstories. You might be able to
capture most of it with a two movie thing, something like Kill Bill pr
1&3

I think there are parts of it you could water down and still have a
pretty good movie. The storyline where I felt Ennis had his head
around Jesse and what he wanted to say with him, finally, was
Salvation, which, apart from a little use of Jesse's DEM voice, is set
in a pretty mundane world.

I see the current director, who is not Robert Rodriguez because they
hate us, is also attached to a Y the Last Man movie.

The essence... you could tell in 2. I'd just tell the first arc,
maybe a little bit more and see how it goes. If there is money for
the next film, go for it.
I certainly wouldn't tell the whole story in one or 2 films.

True, but there are parts you couldn't, and that would kill you.

True.
