Majesco Inks Worldwide Publishing Deal For 'Aeon Flux'; Video
Game Scheduled To Release With Motion Picture Starring Charlize Theron
Game to Feature Voice and Likeness of Oscar(R)-Winning Actress
EDISON, N.J., April 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Majesco (NASDAQ:MJES), an
innovative provider of diversified products and content for digital
entertainment platforms, today announced it has secured the worldwide rights to
publish Aeon Flux for the Xbox(R) video game system from Microsoft and
PlayStation(R)2 computer entertainment system.
The game is scheduled to coincide with the theatrical release, which stars
Oscar(R)-winning actress Charlize Theron ("Monster") as Aeon Flux as well as
such notable talents as Marton Csokas ("The Bourne Supremacy"), Frances
McDormand ("Fargo"), Oscar(R)-nominee Sophie Okonedo ("Hotel Rwanda"), Jonny
Lee Miller ("Trainspotting"), and Pete Postlethwaite ("The Usual Suspects") and
is directed by Karyn Kusama ("Girlfight"). Majesco's Aeon Flux ties together
the animated series, which ran on MTV from 1992-1997, and the motion picture,
which is slated for release in Fall 2005.
"We are excited to be partnering with MTV and Terminal Reality on such an
encompassing project as Aeon Flux," said Jesse Sutton president of Majesco. "By
including the voice talent and likeness of Charlize Theron, we hope to provide
consumers with a product that seamlessly fits within the world of Aeon Flux yet
offers an interactive component that complements its entertainment
counterparts."
Developed by Terminal Reality, creators of Majesco's hit BloodRayne series,
Aeon Flux is based on Peter Chung's popular futuristic MTV animated series and
features a palpitating blend of stealth, speed and acrobatic combat. As
beautiful as she is lethal, Aeon Flux is an agent whose abilities transcend
everyday belief; she will depend upon those skills and talents to rid the city
of Bregna from an evil tyranny.
Paramount Pictures'/Lakeshore Entertainment's "Aeon Flux" is set 400 years in
the future, when disease has wiped out the majority of the earth's population
except for one walled, protected city-state, Bregna, ruled by a congress of
scientists. The story centers on Aeon Flux (Charlize Theron), the top
operative in the underground 'Monican' rebellion, led by The Handler (Frances
McDormand). When Aeon is sent on a mission to kill a government leader, she
uncovers a world of secrets.
Paramount Pictures and Lakeshore Entertainment present a Valhalla Motion
Pictures and MTV Films production, "Aeon Flux." Directed by Karyn Kusama and
written by Phil Hay & Matt Manfredi based upon characters created by Peter
Chung, the film is produced by Gale Anne Hurd, David Gale, Gary Lucchesi, and
Greg Goodman. Tom Rosenberg and Van Toffler executive produce. The film will
be distributed in the United States by Paramount Pictures.

Flux, fan art competitions, and an interactive comic book which integrates the
