I wondered what Peter Chung might think of the live action version of his creation and lucky for me I found an interview at ‘Monican Spies’ from which I have pulled this excerpt: *As is always the case, Hollywood took what was a pure and raw principle and dumb it down so people would not be challenged and leave the theatre feeling fluffy and warm. If I had to use one word to describe Aeon Flux, it would be ‘abstract’ and that is perhaps why, after so many years, Aeon Flux holds its own in the animated series realm. As the backbone of the story arc it’s about as complex as it needs to be but it’s within this ‘simple’ premise that Peter Chung (the series creator) manages to interweave the most twisted and complex stories one could imagine. Whatever the true situation, it’s made pretty clear that both sides’ core aim is to dominate and control its populace. It’s never obvious as to who is right and who is wrong in this ‘fight’, many of the scenarios leave you thinking Aeon herself is every bit as self obsessed as Trevor. From the outside, in a Cold War, Berlin Wall style, protagonist Aeon Flux and the Monican resistance attempt to overthrow him and ‘free’ the Bregnaians. The premise of Aeon Flux is pretty basic – self obsessed (and rather twisted) Trevor Goodchild takes over as Chairman of Bregna to ‘better’ the lives of its population.
