Based on the MTV animated series created by Peter Chung, 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 Handle (Frances McDormand). When Aeon is sent on a mission to kill a government leader, she uncovers a world of secrets.
Hollywood star Charlize Theron forced movie bosses to change her costume design for forthcoming movie "Aeon Flux" -- after deciding her character's original outfit was too revealing.
When Theron saw the superheroine's skimpy crime-fighting outfit of a bikini, thigh-high boots and shoulder pads, she decided to add trousers to the outfit.
The 29-year-old star admits, "When you're playing with aspects of sexuality, certain things have to be hidden. That's what my mother always used to tell me. I wanted to stay as true as possible to the original character, but didn't feel the need to go as far with the costume."
The sci-fi movie, based on the comic book adaptation, is due to be released in the autumn.
