Aeon Flux

<< < (2/2)

Tinjessla:
I remember catching an episode of this, late on MTV one night and liking it's incredibly surreal quality and animation. I'll probably end up seeing this out of curiosity.

JLM:

--- Quote from: 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...
--- End quote ---


If Lynch made it, no one would understand what the hell was going on, thus keeping to the original source quite nicely.

Cronenberg isn't a good director. There. I've said it.  I'll admit that he's very stylized and has impeccable attention to minutiae, but a good director is also concerned that his or her actors are coming across believably.  To date, I can't think of one movie of his that I've seen where I was impressed with the acting, and considering the fact that most of the actors he's worked with are people I've enjoyed in other films, I have to chalk it up to bad directing.

Garcin:
Not every movie the man has directed worked, but I enjoyed The Fly, The Dead Zone, Crash, and ExistenZ quite a bit - particularly that last one.  Among those, Crash was probably the hardest to like (for obvious reasons if you've seen the movie, and keep in mind that this is the 1996 Crash and not the 2005 wholly unrelated movie).  But the man has a nack for turning the morbid disturbing that is almost artistic, which is I suggested that he would have been a good pick for Aeon Flux.

Other good picks: Chris Nolan, Darren Aranofsky.  I'm pretty sure that between Kusama and Theron, we're going to lose the darkness & depth that made Aeon so much fun.

Merkava:
Although Memento is my favorite movie, I wouldn't think Nolan would fit with Aeon Flux. It's just...not small and personal enough.
