Theron Redesigns Skimpy Superheroine Costume

Hollywood star Charlize Theron forced movie bosses to change her costume design for forthcoming movie Aeon Flux - after deciding her character's original outfit was too revealing. When Theron saw the superheroine's skimpy crime-fighting outfit of a bikini, thigh-high boots and shoulder pads, she decided to add trousers to the outfit. The 29-year-old star admits, "When you're playing with aspects of sexuality, certain things have to be hidden. That's what my mother always used to tell me. I wanted to stay as true as possible to the original character, but didn't feel the need to go as far with the costume." The sci-fi movie, based on the comic book adaptation, is due to be released in the autumn.

Maybe they should have got an actress who would play the role.

This from a chick that gets naked for movies and photos at the drop of a hat.

Ooooookay.

She should be replaced immediately with an actress who has greater understanding of the character. I nominate Jessica Biel!

I second the nomination

Replace that twit. She's not worth a shit anyway. I'd much rather seem someone who is "sexual" and "tough". She's too girly feminine to pull off Aeon Flux.

I think this would have been a good movie to do in CGI the way they did Final Fantasy and Animatrix.

After ARFCOM "Stealth" reviews, I have an idea that she'd gonna have some free time for a while.

It doesn't taste like mole.

Or possibly the shirt is wet. Sometimes material turns darker when wet.

Not nice enough, I guess. My bad. I didn't realize that pictures from a PG movie were CoC violations.

Reminds me of when Pamela Anderson was sued for breech of contract by a production company after she refused to do “simulated sex scenes in a movie.” The funniest part is that her role was then filled by model, Kathy Ireland, who claimed in a magazine to be a fine upstanding Christian woman.

I vote Jessica Alba. She's already played the dark heroine type, and looked damn good doing it. You guys remember " Dark Angle" on Fox. yummy.

It's not the nudity she objects to, she says it doesn't match the character.

I have a nice pic of her bush too.

I find it humorous to no end that the costume defines the character in this case.

Must be why I never got into comic books.

Dark Angle. A very acute angle.

That was the main reason to watch "Liquid Television" back in the day.

And Beavis & Butthead, before they got pwned and ™ by MTV...

When a Hollywood star turns down the big bux that come from making slutty movies, it can mean only one thing -

She's getting fat.

That is precisely the first thing I thought of when I read about this.

I guess I'll disagree... I think she can really act! Her performance as serial killer Aileen Wuornos in Monster was outstanding.

Going by her facial features, since most actresses seem capable of conditioning their body for appearance in a movie here is who I think would have been a far better choice:

- Nichole Kidman. Of course, picture her with the Aeon Flux black hair-do. Her narrown, sharp facial features make her the best match IMHO.
- Kate Beckinsale for similarly sharp/narrow facial features.
- Famke Janson
