In three days she will know if she's won an Oscar for her role in MONSTER but today Charlize Theron is making news for her interest in starring in the live-action AEON FLUX movie. The film has been stuck in development hell for nearly a decade and is based on Peter Chung's MTV animated science fiction series which featured an aerobatic assassin trying to oust the despot of a futuristic nation. If Theron does agree to star in the movie she could earn a paycheck of $10 million.

The film will be directed by Karyn Kusama (GIRLFIGHT) and Gale Anne Hurd (HULK) is producing. If everything works out the Paramount Pictures project will start shooting come July.
