Can You Fathom The Fox In Fathom?


First and foremost; big respect to the late Michael Turner.

As a little background to the whole affair, Fathom is a comic book created by Michael Turner and originally published by Top Cow Productions. It debuted in 1998 and was Michael Turner's first creator-owned comic book series. Fathom has received honors and has claimed the "number one selling comic book of the Year".

Fathom is currently published by Turner's own company, Aspen MLT.

On March 3, 2009, Variety magazine announced that a movie adaptation of Fathom is under development by Fox Atomic, with Megan Fox signed up to play the role of Aspen Matthews (the leading character), and also as a producer on the film. It has also been announced that English actor Matthew Tate will portray Chance Calloway. Screenwriter and video game creator Jordan Mechner will write the script.


If anyone else has been keeping track, is Megan Fox casting herself in more and more comic culture roles recently: from Transformers to Jonah Hex?

The late creator Michael Turner is to be credited as the film's Executive Producer.
