I think it’s safe to say that Megan Fox is the biggest fan of Aspen’s FATHOM out there. The project’s still in the scripting stage, but she's been talking about her love of the character and her strong desire to see a FATHOM movie made at press junkets and interviews for more than a year. The latest of such statements comes from an interview she recently did with MTV to promote JONAH HEX. We’ve got the video below, but here’s a transcript for those who can’t watch it.

"[The FATHOM movie’s] going to happen even if I have to step away from it and give it to someone else… They're still working on the script and getting that together. [It’s] in the early fetal pre-production stages… [But] that movie will happen, just because I love it and it needs to happen."

Now that she won’t be returning for the third TRANSFORMERS movie, MTV also asked if she’s still in talks to star as RED SONJA as well. Back in April, rumors actually surfaced that Fox might starring as the she-devil with a sword since Rose McGowan was no longer attached for the character’s big screen revival. Turns out that’s actually news to her (judging by her reaction in this video) so I guess fans’ guesses about RED SONJA are as good as anybody’s, now. == TEASER ==

For those of you unfamiliar with FATHOM, the title debuted in 1998 - - it was the late Michael Turner’s first creator-owned book. It’s about Aspen Matthews, a disgraced Olympic swimmer turned marine biologist who discovers that, due to her mysterious heritage with the aquatic Blue race, she has the power to both control and turn into water. After getting involved in some international intrigue with an underwater science facility called Deep Marine Discovery, she seeks out the Blue in their own kingdom to find answers about her past.

Anyway, you can hear all of this from Megan herself below…

Fox- uggh maybe she will "step away" PLZ!

It needs to happen, because she loves it? Why can't someone shut her up.

Lol I want this movie to happen just as long as she's not involved in it in any way, shape or fashion

She was friends with Turner and it would surprise me if she was the one he wanted to be Aspen.

Not a lot of love for Meghan? :(
Don't wanna sound mean put that makes me smile :D
She sure does annoy me.
Not even sure why. Combination of things probably.

She really bugs me, But she does fit the role nicely and seeing her half naked for 2 hours will def get a lot of teenage boys in the seats. Love her or hate her, she does get people in the seats and that is what studios truely care about ha ha

I want that movie! Don´t care with or without Ms. Fox. 

By the way, I think that Aspen looks pregnant in the picture above...

I don't think that movie would be ny good regardless who was in it.

 
I dont get why everyone gets annoyed by Megan Fox 
Shes hot and I think she would be good as Aspen Matthews in Fathom

"I dont get why everyone gets annoyed by Megan Fox

Megan has to be Aspen! shes perfect for the role and looks great in a bikini!
as for red sonja, i dont think she has the right body type or height to be her. so i'm glad she isnt starring

Megan Fox deserves the part just cause she said that. I love the comic book series Fathom and apparently so does she. So it would be nice to see someone do the character some justice.

Man, I really want this movie to happen so I will be happy whoever stars in it lol

"I do agree with you about her being hot, nobody can deny that, but I think, and this is my personal opinion, she is so "loved" for her hotness and sexiness that her appeal as a believable character in any movie drops because what everybody seems to want to see the physical attraction of her rather than the character she's playing.  It's like Twilight I don't have a problem with the movies or the books, I'm just annoyed by the stupid fans! "

He should, I would read it. :) "

Actually, this is the one comic book role I want to see Megan Fox in... 

For once I don't completely disagree with Megan Fox...I wouldn't mind a Fathom movie.

" It needs to happen, because she loves it? Why can't someone shut her up. "

I don't know anything about fathom but i don't get why people keep saying how she can't act and stuff i think she can and it's not just because she's hot

I honestly don't understand this thread. You don't want this movie based on a T&A filled comic to cast a T&A filled actress who loves it and has been pushing for it to be made?
  
You guys must have really hated those Transformer movies.

As someone who has studied acting quite a bit (and even done some, back in the days when I had free time), I can appreciate filling a role with an actor/actress who has a genuine appreciation for a character. If you love the character, you're more likely to go beyond the script, beyond what that character would simply do, and delve into how they think and feel, their motivation.

When it comes to Red Sonja, though, I think I'd rather see Rhona Mitra in the role, personally.
