Megan Fox set to play dazzling mermaid

London (ANI): Hollywood actress Megan Fox is set to play a dazzling mermaid in an upcoming flick. The stunner will be playing the lead role of 'Aspen', a marine biologist in comic-book thriller 'Fathom'.

"Several writers have been brought aboard to revamp the script as a vehicle for Megan, who officially signed on for the project this week," The Daily Star quoted a source, as saying. "There will be a lot of bikini shots for Megan," the insider added.

After winning her gold medal Aspen is disqualified due to an abnormal response to a drug test. When she qualifies as a marine biologist, she is invited to study at a top-secret underwater science facility known as the Deep Marine Discovery.

She then discovers she is a member of an aquatic race called The Blue - and can control water.
