But it remains to be seen if Aeon Flux will actually get a second chance at life. Theron herself likely would no longer wish to play the character of sexually adventurous futuristic mercenary Aeon Flux, but there are plenty of young actresses who would no doubt love to play the part, and Theron herself could of course produce the whole project. 0:00 / 1:42:40 AEON FLUX Haircut - TheSalonGuy TheSalonGuy 1.04M subscribers Subscribe 9.8K views Streamed 5 years ago Please enjoy this LIVE demonstration of the highly requested Aeon Flux. In fact, one could easily see Aeon Flux being revisited now as a streaming series and working brilliantly. Selling Aeon Flux to general audiences in 2005 was of course a problem, as the material was incredibly strange and frankly did not make sense as the inspiration for a relatively big-budget mainstream movie, derived as it was from a cult animated show filled with bizarre sexual imagery and other general oddness. Indeed, the kinky and surreal Aeon Flux feels like the kind of quirky sci-fi action story that would have a much better chance to succeed today, especially if it was released on a streaming service like Netflix that would put it in front of people’s eyes without the need for expensive marketing. It was just hard and I remember the film that really didn’t play as well as everybody thought. It was a character that I think today would be celebrated cinematically way more than it was in 2004. It was really hard in the sense that there were so many pre-conceived ideas and there were all these boxes that everybody wanted to kind of like squeeze you into. And it was really hard making that film, Aeon Flux.

And the first time that opportunity first showed itself was after I won my Academy Award in 2004. Unfortunately thirty years ago there just wasn’t a lot of opportunity for women to do movies like this.
