During a recent perusal of Apple.com’s movie trailer site, I was surprised to find that there’s a live-action movie based on Aeon Flux coming out this fall.
For those of you who don’t remember, Aeon Flux was an animated miniseries about a female assasin in a futuristic totalitarian state. It ran on Liquid Television, MTV’s animation show from the early Nineties (where, among other things, Beavis & Butthead made its television debut) and featured disturbing animation and a disjointed, surreal storyline.
I’m dubious about the casting of Charlize Theron in the title role, but judging from the preview, they seem to have captured at least some of the style of the original.
Maybe this means we can look forward to big screen adaptations of Crazy-Daisy Ed and my personal Liquid Television favorite, “Psychograms.”
