Charlize Theron to Stage a "Battle in Seattle"
Oscar-winning hottie Charlize Theron and steady boyfriend Stuart Townsend are cooking up a movie called "Battle in Seattle," an indie that takes aim at the World Trade Organization.
From Production Weekly by way of ComingSoon.net: "Charlize Theron is attached to star in "Battle in Seattle," reports Production Weekly. Theron's boyfriend, Stuart Townsend, wrote the film and will be making his directorial debut.
Set in 1999, during the World Trade Organization meeting in Seattle, an eclectic group of demonstrators, including environmental activists, doctors, anarchists, attorneys, eco-terrorists and just plain folks, brings the city to a state of near-chaos, and chases the WTO straight out of town."
So ... it's a comedy?

on Aug 28 2006 07:58 AM I'm curious, having seen this unfold before my very eyes, as to what direction they are going to take with this movie, and how they are going to portray the protestors. Seems like a hard to movie to make right. (Reply to this) |

on Aug 28 2006 12:56 PM yes it is a comedy. from my perspective, the '99 wto incident was a practice in comedic irony ( as was the miami incident, buton a bigger scale). all i know, ill love to see how this plays out. (Reply to this) |
