I'm gonna bite my tongue and say that the trailer for aeon flux looked damn fine. Aside from the possability of raping the original concept (the little details that made me love the animated series so much) my only discrepencies is the fact that trevor goodchild had better be the same goodchild he was in the animated series. I love his character, hes practically a god. In this I bet hes just a bad guy.

they can't stray too far from either Trevor or Aeon's characters. i love how they are lovers one moment, then enemies the next.

"The future is flux".
jeeeeesus...
I'm sorry, this looks pretty shit. that whole story about Aeon saying a freedom fighter - that's what she always said, but it was always complete bullshit. Aeon did whatever she wanted.

I always interpreted that as Trevor knowing Aeon so well he knows almost exactly what she'll do, not so much as actual mindreading.

well, the fun thing about the animated series was that nothing was explained or said outright - so he could've actually read her mind.
the keyword for Aeon Flux is: ambiguity.
now, seeing as this is a large Hollywood blockbuster type thing, I'm very afraid they'll drop the ambiguity in favour of a pretty clear story that is conducive to fast action - this trailer indicates such a choice BUT it is a trailer and these still is the end of summer, so a trailer at this time would focus more on action.
(although the action never really was that important to the plot in the series, more just.. beautiful to watch.)

actually, now I come to think of it, I'm pretty certain they'll have dropped the ambiguity - the test audiences they normally use for early screenings will never let that one pass. :(

At least its somewhat nice to see some of the episodes concepts get put to use. Before the trailer I was afraid they wouldn't follow or use any of it.

Thats a tough one, personally a last time for everything seemed to have the most solid story, could have been a movie in and of itself. All the others are great too, the purge was a mindbender, the use of metaphoric imagry and poetic communication was expressed very well in it.

Since we're on the subject of Aeon Flux, last night I made a track with audio samples I took from it.

aeon flux telephasic boc style vocal cuts with super metroid tourian drones and a groovy beat that will melt butter :)

"the purge" would be my favourite. the one with the clones (can't remember the title) comes close second.

she is too short for a start. qrter's comments regarding amiguity are spot on. Even on the website leading into the preview everything is explained to a ten year old level. This film will of course suck lemon rind

If you think in a realistic manner, to make an aeon flux movie allot of money is needed, thus mainstream producers and ppl youve never heard of taking over the story. This obviously wasn't meant for us hardcore fans, if it was, Peter Chung wouldn't be puking right now and it would be allot more independant. Then again he probly got hella royalties for it. If I never saw the series I would think the site intro is informative and ammusing. I'll still see it, to hate it and like it at the same time. Whats done is done.
Just rerelease the fucking series dvds!!!

if you think in a realistic manner, if you're a big movie mogul, why pick something quirky and interesting like Aeon Flux to make a movie out of if you're then going to ignore exactly what it makes it quirky and interesting in the first place - I mean you're basically right, it couldn't be done very convincingly without lots of bucks, but if you want something to make money, ergo an action movie, why pick Aeon Flux as your subject matter. it just doesn't make sense.. except that..
it's big film studios trying to be "edgy" and then putting safety fences everywhere.. "we want to sell it to you by saying it's edgy, but we don't really want it to be edgy..".
etc.
that kind of thing.
you know.

dang i noticed they had a made a movie when whoever posted that "anal sex w/aeon flux" thread and i had done an image search.
first of all she FUCKING DIES in every episode... how the FUCK are they gonna pull that off, she'd better die at the end.
second of all WAY TOO MUCH CLOTHING i mean that was all part of her character and appeal right?
lastly it's just gonna suck... it's more like a major motion film production "INSPIRED" by aeon.
btw; whatever happened to an "AKIRA" movie?!
