There were some rumors flying around a little while ago that Megan Fox was in talks to star in a motion picture adaption of Michael Turner's "Fathom."  Variety has reported that Fox will indeed be playing the role of Aspen Matthews, a marine biologist that happens to be a hybrid of an underwater race.  She discovers that she has the ability to manipulate and turn herself into water at will.

Let's just say that Megan Fox will be getting wet.  A lot.

Apparently, Fox will be producing the film along with Safran Productions (Peter Safran, Brian Austin Green and Steve Bessen).  Michael Turner will still be an executive producer (even though he unfortunately passed away last year).


Is this a good choice for casting?  Does Megan Fox fit the role of Aspen Matthews?  I know there are some here that adore her and others that are a little put off by her acting skills.  I believe I've only seen her in Transformers so I can't really speak on the subject.  Let's just hope she's a really good swimmer.

Gosh. In Hope & Faith, Miss Fox landed the role of the "Hot Daughter," 30 minutes of her floundering through that part was hard enough, now we get an hour and a half of it? I just hope the movie is better than the comics, because Fathom was a snoozefest without it's pretty pictures.

I figured a picture of her in water would help people get an idea what this would be like.  Nothing dirty about that.

Megan could use a tanning bed, based on that picture to the right. She's looking quite ghost over there.

Maybe it was taken during the non-sunny season?

Maybe all the "good stuff" was taken.  I mean Ratner's is even making a Youngblood movie for some reason.

it could go either way, it could be absolutely amazing... or it could be so bad it would make Catwoman look watchable

I heard about that when I picked up the Youngblood comic starring Obama.I would much rather see Youngblood than Fathom though.I actually don't even like Youngblood.I was interested in the issue because of Obama.With movies though and something like Youndblood there is so many possibilities and if it's not true to the characters or the story..people probably won't care because pretty much nobody is reading Youngblood.

Youngblood was a bit more popular back in the day, though.

I remember those days.That's back when I actually though Leifeld was a good artist.

I forgot what his art was like.

I liked the idea of Youngblood.  I bought the first mini series.  I'm not a Liefeld hater.  But it seems to have been going all over the place in a non-consistent manner.  The idea of Fathom could be cool.  I've only read a couple issues.  I just don't know if a movie based on a character no one really knows about will be enough to make this something.  And Megan Fox may have some popularity but is it enough to carry her own film?
