Video Gaming News - April 2005
Edison, NJ (April 5, 2005) - Majesco today announced that it has
secured the worldwide rights to publish Aeon Flux for the Xbox and PlayStation
2.
From Majesco:
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.
“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.
