Any of you fellow 90's brats remember watching Aeon Flux on MTV's Liquid Television?
The news is that a live action movie is in the making starring Charlize Theron.
For anyone that isn't familiar with Aeon Flux....here is a snippet I copied from who2.com
quote:
Created by Peter Chung, Aeon Flux debuted in 1991 as part of MTV's Liquid Television. Aeon Flux is an assassin whose futuristic espionage adventures set records for cartoon body counts. Long-legged and spidery, she wears a skimpy chastity belt, disregarding its traditional purpose in the extreme. With overtones of fetishism and sado-masochism, Aeon is sexy, cool and often ruthless.
Funny thing, the first thought I had on reading this is that Charlize Theron put on a lot of weight to play Aileen Wuornos (how was that spelt again?) I don't think it's possible for anyone to lose enough weight to play Aeon Flux. Hope she doesn't try....

Ah...but she did lose her weight. She was all nice and svelte when she picked up her Oscar for the movie at the Academy Awards this last spring.
Now, 'they' are saying that they want her to lose more weight...so they have her on a low-carb diet and she is working out 4 hours a day....
The harness that were specially made for her 2 weeks ago for her to practice her stunts had to be send back cause she was already too small for them...
The way Theron can manipulate her body weight scares me. No matter what, it's always extreme, though. Can you imagine working out for four hours a day? I can't. WAY too lazy for that.
There ya go.....Ive never heard of it either and searched around for a link.. .tho for some strange reason just the name Aeon flux made me think of a comic strip with the Gauls and Vikings in Ancient times..<tho dang if THAT comic strips name escapes my pre Alzeimic mind right now!>
ooooh, hubby's got some Asterisk comics somewhere. He loved them.
Anyone heard of Cerebus the Aardvark by Dave Sim?

I remember Aeon Flux, and actually had (or might still have) a video tape of it which I sadly can't find Even for the 90s I doubt that much violence would be allowed in a live action show. I did like the show and that fact that they allowed it to air though.
