Charlize Theron stars in Aeon Flux
Majesco has announced it has secured the worldwide rights to publish Aeon Flux for the Xbox video game system from Microsoft and PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system.
The game is scheduled to coincide with the theatrical release, which stars Oscar-winning actress Charlize Theron ("Monster") as Aeon Flux as well as such notable talents as Marton Csokas ("The Bourne Supremacy"), Frances McDormand ("Fargo"), Oscar(R)-nominee Sophie Okonedo ("Hotel Rwanda"), Jonny Lee Miller ("Trainspotting"), and Pete Postlethwaite ("The Usual Suspects") and is directed by Karyn Kusama ("Girlfight"). Majesco's Aeon Flux ties together the animated series, which ran on MTV from 1992-1997, and the motion picture, which is slated for release in Fall 2005.
"We are excited to be partnering with MTV and Terminal Reality on such an encompassing project as Aeon Flux," said Jesse Sutton president of Majesco. "By including the voice talent and likeness of Charlize Theron, we hope to provide consumers with a product that seamlessly fits within the world of Aeon Flux yet offers an interactive component that complements its entertainment counterparts."
Developed by Terminal Reality, creators of Majesco's hit BloodRayne series, Aeon Flux is based on Peter Chung's popular futuristic MTV animated series and features a palpitating blend of stealth, speed and acrobatic combat. As beautiful as she is lethal, Aeon Flux is an agent whose abilities transcend everyday belief; she will depend upon those skills and talents to rid the city of Bregna from an evil tyranny.
Paramount Pictures'/Lakeshore Entertainment's "Aeon Flux" is set 400 years in the future, when disease has wiped out the majority of the earth's population except for one walled, protected city-state, Bregna, ruled by a congress of scientists. The story centers on Aeon Flux (Charlize Theron), the top operative in the underground 'Monican' rebellion, led by The Handler (Frances McDormand). When Aeon is sent on a mission to kill a government leader, she uncovers a world of secrets.
