Cast Notes: (4/9/04) Charlize Theron will be going through three solid months

Premise: In the 25th century, a rampaging
virus has forced the remnants of humanity into the seclusion of a final city. There is great political conflict within, however,
and this is the story of an acrobatic assassin, Aeon Flux (Theron), whose latest target is the government's top leader.
Filming:
Production started in August, 2004 in Berlin. Charlize Theron was injured during a stunt which shut down production from August
31st to October 4th, 2004. She was able to return and finish shooting the picture, but was barred from doing any more of her
own stunt work. Filming had wrapped up by the end of 2004, with the final budget coming in around $55 million.
