Marton Csokas Talks On His 'Aeon Flux' Role

[Tuesday, December 21st, 2004]
Marton Csokas (The Bourne Supremacy) talked to SciFi Wire about his role in the upcoming Sci Fi movie Aeon Flux. He says that his role as Trevor Goodchild is much different than the one from the one in the MTV animated series on which the film is based

"It's quite different ... There's a human aspect that's been taken on within the film, and [different from] the sort of harder, more simplistic lines of the animated series—which are very good and fine and a law unto themselves. We've journeyed somewhere else within the film" said Csokas.

Csokas, who co-stars with Charlize Theron, plays Goodchild, the leader of a rigid city-state 400 years in the future. "Trevor has more of a human dimension, and within the story, he's a scientist, ... and he saved the world, so to speak, or attempts to, and he has a certain body of information he needs to maintain secrecy about in conjunction with his brother, Oren Goodchild [Jonny Lee Miller], and the journey begins and continues, and Aeon Flux [Theron] is brought into the picture at some point from his perspective, and on they go."

Theron plays Flux, the leader of a rebellion against Goodchild's walled dominion, called Bregna. The two also shared some history. "The relationship with Aeon and Trevor has gone on a very long time, and one person knows a lot more about their history than another, which is an intriguing place to start," Csokas said. "And then when they do meet, Aeon and Trevor, ... a lot of these things are brought to bear both within each of themselves ... [that] determines what goes on within the story."
