Aeon Flux - the Movie
 

Yay! It is official: one of the weirdest cartoons ever gets a movie. I just hope that they don't mess up. But, hey, there isn't a lot to mess up when you're telling a spy/agent-thriller. All they could screw up is the atmosphere.

Anyways: Here's a few pics.

and here's the site.

I used to watch this cartoon on MTv, the only thing I remember is the fly in the eyelashes.

I heard about this a while back, but didn't know they had already cast the movie. Marton Csokas who plays Trevor Goodchild is an awesome character actor who can do so many accents flawlessly. I'm not so nuts about Charlize Theron, but who knows... she could surprise me.

Also, a promotional still from the movie:

I think that Charlize Theron doesn't look too bad as Aeon Flux (odd name, very odd). What did CT do good? I mean, she got an oscar, right?


But maybe they'll ruin the Aeon-Flux-Universe with that movie. Or they'll improve it.

I'll hope for the latter.

Holy crap, she isn't hideous!

She did "The Life and Death of Peter Sellers." I wasn't too impressed with her performance though. Her German accent sounded British to me. I dunno.

I used to watch that cartoon...


...And, I dunno about Charlize Theron... Doesn't look much like I expected it to... I mean, doesn't look bad. Just doesn't look like Aeon Flux. Though, I suppose it's hard to replicate that character, heh.



But, we'll see, I guess!! ;) :)

She makes the character look better. The character in the cartoon was an anorexic trainwreck who looked like an avid freebaser of black tar heroine.

I have been reading various articles on this movie but they mostly focus on Charlize Theron instead of the movie. I doubt that they will be able to capture the weirdness that is Aeon Flux. As long as they don't turn it into a generic spy movie it can still be a decent movie. If this is indeed the final costume then I really think they could have done a lot better.

Aeon Flux
 

This show proved that animation doesn't have to be japanese to be mature. Anyone else remember this godly show?

It's airing occasionly on MTV2 again, which is great, the upcoming movie better be faifthul to the show.

Movie? Animated or live-action?

Live-action.

And no, I'm not thrilled at that...

That...that doesn't sound too good :|

Well, I for one am looking forward to that movie. Maybe they manage to resurrect the toon or something. Or they give us interesting new insights into their world. As for the movie, I have started a thread on this a while back.

Have you seen any production pics or has nothing been revealed yet?

EDIT: Never mind, I found your thread.

Link edited out due to merging of two threads.

Should I merge these threads?

That would be a good idea

Whatever greatness this show may have had, I totally missed it because I couldn't get past the atrocious character designs. Peter Chung, I believe that's his name, should never be allowed to pick up another pencil. I felt the same way about Reign, which very easily could've been a cool show if everyone didn't look so hideously elongated, sick and anorexic.

That was the style of the show, hell I think Nickoldoean's Doug's animation quality had the worst animation on the network (and that's saying something in the 90's due to thier deliberatly crude art style), but I did'nt care, the series was great enough
