Megan Fox is Fathom



After years of being adrift in development hell, Michael Turner's Fathom is finally heading to the big screen with Megan Fox in tow as the lead character, Aspen Matthews.

"I think she's fantastic for this part," exclaimed Aspen MLT President, Frank Mastromauro. "She knows so much about Fathom, which is spectacular. Growing up she was a huge fan of the book and a huge fan of Michael's. When we met her, she was already well versed in [Fathom] volume one and [was] asking us questions about the book. And it's just really great to have someone who is enthusiastic about the material. Not because it's another movie they're making, but because it's a movie that in their heart they want to make because they love the character and they love Michael and the people who created it so much. Of course it's fantastic that she's in some great movies–Transformers, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen–she's definitely the 'it' girl right now. And I think she's going to do a fantastic job. I've met her several times and I know she's really into the project.




"When [Michael Turner] met Megan he thought she was fantastic," continued Mastromauro. "He was 100 percent for it and couldn't have been happier. He honestly couldn't have pictured someone else doing this right now, just due to the fact that Megan was so into the character. It's a no-brainer. She just translates Mike's beautiful woman into live action perfectly." ,br.,br. The screenplay will be based on the first volume of Fathom and will be adapted by Jordan Mechner, the creator of the Prince of Persia video game series (and also the screenwriter of the forthcoming Prince of Persia movie produced by Jerry Bruckheimer).
