The web site for the live action Aeon Flux, starring Charlize Theron and Francis McDormand, goes live with a short intro and flash images of some of the main characters. While this doesn’t seem like a must-see by any means, it might make for a decent B-movie, I guess. I’ve yet to figure out how they’re going to capture the feel of the cartoon, tho’.

The Contenders.
Extra! Extra! Wonka Industries spokesman Tim Burton announces the Golden Ticket winners in six new character-specific Charlie and the Chocolate Factory posters.
Bats out of Hell.
Phew, this movie had best hurry up and come out before I run out of lame bat-centered cliches. At any rate, SuperHeroHype unveils another swanky new Batman Begins poster.
I find your lack of faith disturbing…
By way of my sister Tessa, Admiral Motti gets caught mouthing off again. Silly Admiral, you should’ve known there was an outside chance that he’d now be more powerful than you can possibly imagine.
Amorous Allies.
For his next project, Stephen Soderbergh is apparently looking to direct The Good German, a romantic thriller set in the last days of WWII, starring George Clooney and Cate Blanchett (and based on a 2001 book by Joseph Kanon.) But will Nicky Katt play Hitler?
Season of the Witch.
It may seem like we’re on the threshold of springtime here in New York, but Narnia still suffers under the perpetual chill of the White Witch, as you can see in these impressive leaked stills from the teaser for The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe.
Wonka the Sane?
Right on the heels of the recent one-sheet, Johnny Depp tries to channel a thirteen-year-old in an altogether strange new Charlie and the Chocolate Factory TV spot, courtesy of The Movie Box.
A Change in the Masthead.
A noteworthy turnover at The Daily Planet today — Hugh Laurie is out (due to his prior commitment to FOX’s House) and Frank Langella is in as Perry White for Bryan Singer’s Superman. Ok, that works.
Nothing Beside Remains?
As it turns out, the rumors were true — Paramount is in fact getting antsy about The Watchmen, and as a result the production will likely be moving out of London’s Pinewood Studios in order to save a few bucks. C’mon, y’all…think Sin City, not LXG.
Mahjong of the Dead.
By way of Quiddity, it’s everyone’s favorite parlor game, PeggJongg! I’m with the folks who think Simon Pegg (of Spaced and Shaun of the Dead) might make for a decent Rorschach in The Watchmen, but, after trying to beat this a few times, I gotta say, it might be awhile before I feel like seeing his face again. Update: Speak of the devil, Pegg talks Rorschach. Update 2: Even more Peggness — the man of the hour will team up with Brendan Fraser and Woody Harrelson for Three Bad Men.
