Academy Award-winning actress Charlize Theron suffered an injury while doing work on a trampoline back in late August, and the filming of "Aeon Flux" was forced to shut-down until Theron could recover. Now it appears Theron has significantly recovered enough to continue work on the action flick, directed by Karyn Kusama ("Girlfight") and co-starring Frances McDormand ("Laurel Canyon").
"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.
Theron plays the title role of Aeon Flux, the top operative in the underground Monican rebellion, led by the Handler, played by Frances McDormand. When Aeon is sent on a mission to kill the government's leader (Martin Csokas), she uncovers a world of secrets, which makes her question everything she thought she knew.*
