Charlize Got An Owie. Aeon Flux on Hold Indefinitely.
Word from the Hollywood Reporter is that Charlize Theron was injured in a stunt sequence while filming Aeon Flux and that production has shut down indefinitely. While Theron's handlers aren't giving a lot of specifics someone on set told HR that Theron hurt her neck and that production will be shut down for at least six weeks while she recovers.

I'm glad. Live action is the wrong way to go. Can't believe that it would be anywhere as good as the cartoon.

When Blade Runner had to halt shooting because of an actors strike production design kept on designing.
The result was a landmark in the design of movies.
Aeon Flux the cartoon had finesse and a noir design that helped create a distinct and mostly silent adventure through a twisted future-world.
The more time to create the look of the Aeon Flux world the better.

If you think Angelina Jolie's a bad actress you should watch Girl Interrupted. It might make you think twice. Just because an actor has looks doesn't always mean they can't act. (And boy does she have looks)

I agree with No One and Mantiss. I told a friend of mine who has seen the Aeon Flux series about how I thought Jolie would have been the better choice and she agreed as well. But it would be almost a rehash of TOMB RADIER. If you doubt her acting abilites then I would look at GIA as well as GIRL INTERRUPTED.

Getting hurt already? Guess she's no Uma, huh?
Just because Charlize got injured DOES NOT mean that more time will necessarily be spent on production design.

wow...who even knew an aeon flux movie was in the works. LOVED the cartoon but charlize theron isn't anywhere near what i'd have in mind for the role. look at the two pictures above...is it even close? MAYBE angelina jolie but it would almost be a complete rehash of tomb raider. i hope it doesn't suck and they put some loving care into it...the cartoon deserves it. at least she's oscar-caliber...that bodes well...maybe.
