Variety reports today that screenwriter Linda Woolverton has agreed to script the Fathom film for Lightstorm Productions and 20th Century Fox.
Top Cow founder/CEO Marc Silvestri, along with Spike Seldin and Chris Carlyle, will produce alongside Jon Landau, Rae Sanchini, and the uber-famous James Cameron. Titanic Jim's main appeal for the property springs from, oddly, a scene on a ship: In the comic's first issue, a young woman with no memory is found on a yacht. This "underlying theme of an ordinary person facing extraordinary circumstances", according to Variety, is what drew Cameron's interest.
Woolverton's past credits include Disney's Beauty and the Beast, Homeward Bound, and partial credit on The Lion King. Stay tuned for more details as production on Fathom gets deeper.
