Charlize Theron might star.

I can imagine worse than Charlize Theron in the AF costume.

Wait, shouldn't that be 'Trinity Flux'?

Oprah?

I find it hard to imagine an Aeon Flux movie... the toons were so horrifically insane that I doubt they's be able to capture anything remotely like it on film. So it'll probably be just an excuse for ms Theron to run around in black leather straps.

So what's your problem with this concept?

Theron just officially got the part, and a cool 10 million dollars to boot (her biggest pay day ever.) Director will be Karyn Kusama ("Girlfight").

Seriously, when I think of Aeon Flux done as a Hollywood action flick, it just seems ... dull.

If you're asking what my problem is with the idea of an AF movie, it is as I said, I don't think it's sheer bloody (in the fluidic sense) weirdness could be captured on film. By a westerner, anyway. I'm sure a Japense director could manage it

If you're asking why I'm opposed to...

... then, I can report after much soul searching and inner dialogue, that I am in favour to attractive women in skimpy black leather outfitts.

On a purely theoretical basis, of course.

Does this mean she isn't as big a star as, say, Gibson or Carrey (Jim, not Mariah), or is there still a glass ceiling in Hollywood?

If Charlize ever proves herself to ever be an actual box office draw in and of herself (which so far she certainly hasn't) then she'll be paid accordingly. Julia Roberts and Cameron Diaz have "shattered" any notion of there still being a glass ceiling for a number of years now.
