IMO This movie is based upon the popular animated spy TV show of the same title, created by Peter Chung, which aired on MTV in the early 1990s. Which I thought was down right badass and very stylish. However, I dont see Theron fitting the role (looks-wise) but ya never know. I hope they stick very close to the style and feel of Peter Chung' s origional stuff (btw peter chung was recently involved with CoR with his 34 minute anime DARK FURY)
