I guess there really isn't much difference between playing a serial killer and an assassin. Charlize Theron hopes the mindset from one will carry over to the other as she potentially makes the transition from the homely serial killer she played in Monster to the sexy, sleek assassin that she's negotiating to play in Aeon Flux.

As some of you fellow balding gen-x'ers will remember, Aeon Flux was the first attempt at animation that MTV produced. It was a stylistic cartoon that followed the exploits of a sexy assassin. Of course, while it definitely has its fair share of diehard fans, it was completely overshadowed by the phenomenon that was Beavis & Butt-Head.
