Fox acquires Top Cow`s `Theory of Everything`

Los Angeles: 20th Century Fox has acquired the rights to Top Cow Productions` `Theory of Everything`. The studio will adapt the one-shot from the publishers` 2011 `Pilot Season`, the Hollywood Reporter said. Dan Casey and Nick Nantell`s comic is based on the science of string theory and quantum physics. It centres around a scientist who attempts to rescue his presumed-dead wife from a parallel dimension. Dan Jinks and Nantell will produce, with Top Cow`s Matt Hawkins and Marc Silvestri serving as executive producers. The `Pilot Season` sees the publisher release a series of one-shot comics, one of which will be voted by readers into an ongoing series. `Theory of Everything` did not win the 2011 poll. PTI
