Otherwise spelled (Æon Flux) Aeon Flux is a live action motion picture loosely based on an MTV science fiction animated television series that aired in various forms throughout the 1990s. The original animated Æon Flux was created by Korean American animator Peter Chung.

The film was not well-received, but has striking visuals. One of the talented artists working on it was Peter Popken.

Popken is a professional concept and storyboard artist who's worked on blockbuster films like V for Vendetta (2005), The Bourne Supremacy (2004) and Hugo (2011).

Hulk (2003) 

"For a particular sequence in the film when we flash back to Bruce Banner's childhood memories, Ang wanted some concept art to see what we can do with the stuffed animals - to make them symbols for all the repressed anger that the young Bruce experienced in his childhood home. In the end, due to time and budget, the shot was cut and in its place was a pretty simple motion-blurred shot of young Bruce playing violently with the dolls." - Tang
