Elsewhere Hollywood star CHARLIZE THERON forced movie bosses to change her costume design for forthcoming movie AEON FLUX - after deciding her character's original outfit was too revealing.

When Theron saw the superheroine's skimpy crime-fighting outfit of a bikini, thigh-high boots and shoulder pads, she decided to add trousers to the outfit.

The 29-year-old star admits, "When you're playing with aspects of sexuality, certain things have to be hidden. That's what my mother always used to tell me.

"I wanted to stay as true as possible to the original character, but didn't feel the need to go as far with the costume."

Charlize Theron is too pretty for this role. And too famous. I disagree with what she says above, not because I'm so male that I need to see Charlize Theron in as little clothing as possible, but because, to me, the visceral sexuality of the character is one of the things I remember the best. I recall very clearly that the negligible clothing mixed with the raw and angular animation, reinforced a character that expressed more the animal side of sex than the loving side. Truly, this was a woman who, if real, I wasn't certain I wanted to meet, naked or otherwise. She was intimidating, not least in the realm of sexuality.

I was concerned that Charlize was the wrong pick from the beginning, because as great an actress as she is, as gorgeous as she is, she lacks that aspect of intimidation... perhaps "too soft" is the description. There was always something impure associated with desire towards this character. I just don't get that from this incarnation. I'll withhold saying more until I've seen the movie, of course... perhaps I'll be proven wrong. -k]
