Aeon Flux

(1/2) > >>

JLM:
The new film, not the animated series.  I never cared much for what they did with the show once Aeon was able to talk.

anyways...

Trailer here.

LiterSize:
Charlize Theron is hot, and the shots look promising, but.... the art and design of Aeon Flux was as much a character as the story and Aeon and Trevor.  It doesn't strike me like the first time I Aeon get killed on Liquid TV (when MTV was actually cool)

Gryff:
I didn't care much for the series but you never know how these things will turn out. Might be worth a look...

Garcin:
It may suck, but maybe not.  It's definitely not going to capture the ethos of the original series.  For that, you would need David Lynch directing Milla Jovovich in Aeon's role; or David Cronenberg . . . sigh.

Why Milla Jovovich, you ask?  Not just because she has Aeon's body type (ie. the "give that girl a sammich" bodytype), but also because Jovovich, unlike Charlize Theron, would not have refused to wear Aeon's costume, claiming it was too revealing.  It's supposed to be freakin' bondage wear -- that's the point.  Now it just looks like Theron is doing Trinity with bare shoulders.

But the director is Karyn Kusama, in apparently her sophomore film, after having done a decent job with Girlfight.  I think that she will take the female-empowerment route, which was admittedly a sub-theme in the original series.  We can look forward to Theron jumping up and down a lot, kicking the crap out of Trevor, and blowing shit up.  I'm just miffed that I'm being deprived of the nightmare masterpiece that might have been.

Gryff:
Lynch or Cronenburg would have made for a great film. It would be cool if they played around with the nightmarish aspect of it, rather than making it a Tomb Raider "boobs 'n' guns" type movie...
