![]() His preceding clones had all worked on this problem. Trevor's ongoing experiments were attempts to reverse the infertility. Cloning was required because the antidote to the virus made humans infertile. With the dead constantly being reborn as new individuals and bearing partial memories of their previous lives, their troubling dreams have increased. Everyone in Bregna is revealed to be a clone, grown from recycled DNA. Æon questions the origins of everyone in Bregna and in particular, her personal connection to Trevor. When Æon is sent on a mission to kill the government's leader, Trevor Goodchild, she discovers that both she and the Monicans are being manipulated by a cabal of council members working towards a coup d'état, unrelated to the goals of the Monicans. After a mission to destroy a surveillance station, Æon comes home to find her sister Una has been mistaken for a Monican and killed. A skilled warrior, named Æon Flux, is a member of the Monicans, an underground rebel organization who communicate through telepathy-enabling technology and are led by the Handler. Although Bregna is largely an idyllic place in the destroyed Earth, people routinely disappear and the population is plagued by nightmares. Four centuries later, in late 2415, the remaining five million humans inhabit Bregna, a dystopian walled futuristic city-state, which is ruled by a congress of scientists. For now, it remains to be seen whether or not Jeff Davis and MTV Entertainment Studios are up to the task of doing justice to Peter Chung’s animated masterpiece, as this practically entails revolutionizing the way animation is adapted into live-action content.In 2011, a deadly pathogenic virus killed 99% of the Earth's population, forcing the survivors to regroup and scatter across the Earth. Without the creative and logistical difficulties of single-film production, which reportedly plagued the 2005 Aeon Flux movie, the franchise could finally break out of the shadow of the Wachowski sisters, who actually count Aeon Fluxas one of their inspirations for creating The Matrix and its sequels, and even enlisted Chung to produce an episode of The Animatrix. ![]() The series format, combined with Davis’ experience in rebooting cult material, could prove to be a much more conducive arena for properly fleshing out Peter Chung’s Aeon Flux in a live-action setting – a puzzle that hasn’t been solved since the animated series ended 26 years ago. However, Teen Wolf’s Jeff Davis has been confirmed to be the showrunner for the new Aeon Flux, which will be a series that will stream on Paramount+. ![]() The Aeon Flux reboot doesn’t have a release date just yet. Set in the year 7698, this bizarre universe is home to Aeon Flux, a spy from the anarchist city of Monica, and her lover and arch-enemy Trevor Goodchild, the technocratic dictator of the Orwellian city-state of Bregna. In contrast to the Aeon Flux movie’s straightforward themes, Peter Chung’s original animated series has a largely ambiguous dystopian plot, which is told through the lenses of BDSM, erotic fetishism, biotechnology, gnosticism, horror, and psychedelia – and animated in a style that, according to Peter Chung, was influenced by Hergé, Moebius, and German Expressionist painters. These movies were heavily influenced by 1999’s The Matrix, the highly successful Wachowski sisters film which popularized dystopian sci-fi themes in mainstream turn-of-the-century cinema. Aeon Flux shares its visual style and political themes with several other dystopian sci-fi movies released in the same era, such as Ultraviolet and Equilibrium. In the film, the titular character Aeon Flux is part of a rebel group called the Monicans, who frees the people of Bregna from the Goodchild regime, which turns out to be lying about everything to its people in order to maintain power and control.
