About Aeon Flux
|
Contributed by Andrew Manning (January 2005)
Aeon Flux was originally an animated short featured on MTV's Liquid Television, a showcase of unconventional animation that aired in the early '90s. The title character (pictured at left) was a lanky, lethal assassin who could smoke obscene amounts of adversaries in the blink of an eye. The over-the-top, amoral death vixen with the funky hair graduated into her own animated series in 1995. Now, ten years later, she'll be depicted on the big screen by Oscar winner Charlize Theron, live action style.
(While promoting Hotel Rwanda, actress Sophie Okonedo spoke very briefly about her Aeon Flux role in our exclusive interview.)
