A Major Player Eyeing The Magdalena?

By Adam Thur     January 15, 2002

Last Septemberthe Hollywood trades reported that James Cameron's Lightstorm Entertainment hadcome on board the feature film version of Top Cow's Fathom asproducers. The movie had previously been set up with 20th Century Fox as ananimated film. The new development effort repositions it as a live-action movie.

Spike Seldin,President of Production at Top Cow told Comics2Film that work isprogressing on the project. Top Cow and Lightstorm are currently meeting withwriters and hope to get the script going soon. Fathom features aheroine with water based powers.

Another Top Cowconcept that's making its way to the silver screen is The Magdalena.Previous reports indicated that this concept was in development as a TV series,but Seldin tells us that isn't necessarily the case.

"We're developing it probably more as a feature than a TVseries," Seldin said.

He also told usthat there could be movement on the project soon. "We're about to team-up with another well-known producer to move forward on that one."

TheMagdalena character spun out of one of Top Cow's flagship titles, TheDarkness. The concept centers on a vampire-slaying agent of the Vatican.
