Twentieth Century Fox plans to adapt Theory of Everything, the sci-fi thriller published by Top Cow Productions, Deadline reports.

Released as part of the publisher's 2011 Pilot Season initiative, the comic by Nick Nantell, Dan Casey and Thomas Nachlik follows a brilliant but disgraced scientist who seeks to rescue his long-assumed-dead wife from a parallel dimension.

Casey will write the script, with Nantell, senior vice president of The Dan Jinks Company, co-producing. Top Cow's Matt Hawkins and Marc Silvestri are executive producers.
