Speaking with MTV News, Fox confirmed that "Fathom" (based on the Aspen Comics series created by the late Michael Turner) is still in the works and will eventually get made — even if that means someone else has to take on the lead role of Aspen Matthews.
"That's going to happen even if I have to step away from it and give it to someone else," she told MTV. "That movie will happen, just because I love it and it needs to happen."
Of course, none of that's to say that Fox has left the production — and if she did, you can be sure that she wouldn't surrender the role to "someone who doesn't give a s--- about it." But things seem to be moving along just fine at the moment, as the actress revealed that "Fathom" is currently in the scripting stage.
"They're still working on the script and getting that together," she said. "That's in the early fetal pre-production stages."
Beyond "Fathom," Fox addressed the recent rumors of her involvement with "Red Sonja," the delayed (and possibly scrapped) comic book adaptation from producer Robert Rodriguez and actress Rose McGowan.
"Is that coming back around? There were talks of it a while ago, but as far as I knew, someone else was already doing it," she said, speaking of the Rodriguez/McGowan version. "I didn't realize that was open again."
I am curious to see what will happen to the possibly soon-to-be-careerless Megan over the next few months. As you know, she was recently let go/quit from "Transformers 3." Not surprisingly, she didn't have a draw outside the robot franchise with "Jennifer's Body" (although that could also be blamed on the quality of that film). And "Jonah Hex" has really bad buzz surrounding it (although Warners is now trying really hard to take that bad buzz away).
Megan is not really a great actress, so once you get past her looks, I'm afraid that she just won't be around for much longer. Losing out on the sure thing that is "Transformers 3" just might be the end of her career. She seriously should just pose nude somewhere or show her bobbies in a flick or sleep with me for five bucks. Might as well go out in style (there's a really nice Del Taco by my apartment, Megan).
