Majesco announced it has secured the worldwide rights to publish Aeon Flux for the Xbox and PlayStation 2.
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 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.
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.
The Aeon Flux movie 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.
Paramount Pictures will aim to showcase Aeon Flux online on the film's official website - a link to which is available by following the download tab above. The site will features such elements as: interactive downloads, a timeline showing the history of the world of Aeon Flux, fan art competitions, and an interactive comic book which integrates the style of a comic book along with interactive game engines.
