And the wait is killing me.

Peter Chung's character is supposed to be brought to life by Charlize Theron,
and the last I heard was that shooting was completed at the end of 2004.

Has anyone heard anything about it recently?

oh, crap!
you mean Aeon Flux?
damn, ive never seen the show.
ive heard rumours about the movie, though.
I also heard that Charlize is doing her own stunts for it. so...

you know, i think they shoul do a metroid movie, with someone like Theron as Samus. but im gettin off track wit dat.
when is it coming out, do you know?

Gee goofyfish, I think I heard a little something or other about it over at www.aeonflux.com

I can't imagine it will be weird enough. Its incredible it got onto tv in cartoon form late at night. I doubt in this christian right, post breastgate era we will really get what we want out of it.

oh, wait...
japanimation?
bah.
i might see the movie, as long as its liveaction, not voiceover.
man, voiceovers suck...

Um, Aeon Flux was an American produced TV show and as near as I can tell it will be an American produced movie. Everyone always thinks its anime because it was edgy, and well... sort of did take more than a few cues from anime. But its American alright. That trailer at the website probably shows people in cloths designed to look Japanese because the movie is going to be a bankrupt exploitation that can't even be bothered to make the distinction that the source material was an American endeavor into mindfuck cartoons, not a Japanese one. Besides, a large portion of the demographic for this kind of thing are those self styled "otaku" land monster people.

AeonFlux's weirdness was sincere and genuine, perhaps as a result of it stemming from a culture I am actual familiar with. Anime always leaves me feeling as if something was lost in the translation, so the weirdness is just well... weird for the wrong reasons. If I recall AeonFlux didn't really draw on the conventions of anime either, no tentacle monsters, no magical little girls, no perverted Christian iconography. It was quite an original.

So now there is a clip going around the itnernet with Theron jumping around like a dope in a prison cell and some chrome spheres rolling around. Jeeze guys, don't kill yourself with the special effects. Chrome spheres? Thats about as basic a 3D effect as revoloving a curve to make a wine glass, give me a break. As previously stated I'm not optimistic about how this is going to look. It looks to me like this thing is going to be running on the scifi channel in short order, if you catch my drift. Also, I would like to laugh at Hapsburg again for expressing, several months ago, that he thought Aeon Flux was from Japan.
