Charlize Theron as Bond Girl?

Charlize Theron is now the most likely candidate to become the next Bond girl. Angelina Jolie used to be director Martin Campbell's favorite, but Theron has, according to the IMDB, bewitched both director and producers. She did mention that she would love the role, but it would have to be 'toughened up' a little bit.

Aeon Flux gets slaughtered by critics

Charlize Theron's new movie Aeon Flux has been slaughtered by critics. The movie was only screened to critics after the release date, and it is clear why. "This is by far the year's worst movie," said the New York Post, while the Chicago Sun-Times adds that Charlize is the latest Oscar winning actress "to squader her clout by appearing in terrible films."
"While fun to watch Charlize Theron prance around in spandex, the film is a chore to sit through," says FilmJerk.com. I'm guessing that word of mouth will slaughter this movie at next weekend's box office, but I doubt Theron's rep will be too damaged by this. That is, of course, unless she keeps appearing in movies like this (I'm still reserving judgement of the movie until I have seen it myself, the trailer looks pretty slick).

Theron studied gecko's for Aeon Flux

According to the New York Post, Charlize Theron has studied gecko's in order to prepare well for her role in new movie Aeon Flux. She did this so her movements would be as fluid as possible. The stunt coordinator of the movie, Charlie Croughwell, said about this: "There was a scene where Charlize runs on all fours and her belly's only three to four inches off the ground, so we watched National Geohgraphic videos of gecko's to analyze their movements." But Theron implied that all this study was hardly necessary. "I'm from Africa. I know all about gecko's. I used to play 'Alcatraz' with them in my back yard!"
