Um, I'm not sure if anyone has noticed this yet, or brought it up, but in Uncle Orsons' latest review of Everything, he talks about Aeon Flux being based on a video game.

The recent live-action movie is acutally based on an animated series (with episodes of various lengths) by Peter Chung. It was originally was shown on MTV.

Here's a linky for all those interested:

I'm not taking issue with the review - I haven't seen the film and probably won't - but I do think it's important that we get the story straight.

(BTW, there is a video game version, but it's based on the film, not the original animated series.)
