Charlize Theron is “Jinx”-ed

Via SuperheroHype, here’s news that Charlize Theron’s upcoming graphic novel (re: comic book) adaptation “Jinx” now has a full script courtesy of the GN’s creator and comic book writer Brian Michael Bendis (”Ultimate Spider-Man”). The interesting part is that it’s only 2007, and Theron’s name is already attached, but IMDB.com has the movie listed as going into production in 2009 — two full years away! I don’t know if IMDB.com has fubar the movie’s info, or if this film is still a long way from happening. In any case, “Jinx” concerns a bounty hunter who teams up with a crook to find a stash of lost mob money. Bendis first created the “Jinx” comics in 1995, and counts the titles Goldfish, Fire, Jinx, Torso (with Marc Andreyko), and Total Sell Out among the franchise.

The question is: Why is Charlize Theron jumping into yet another “cartoon” property after the wholesale disaster that was “Aeon Flux”? Granted, “Aeon Flux” was an animated series, but it’s still in the realm of comic book/cartoon/animation like “Jinx”. It doesn’t seem like such a good idea for an Oscar winner…
