ROTTEN TOMATOES: Charlize Theron to Stage a "Battle in Seattle"

Charlize Theron to Stage a "Battle in Seattle"

by Scott Weinberg | August 28, 2006

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?

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.

Definently a romantic comedy where they meet during the riot.

Makes me all warm and fuzzy.

It sounds like PCU on a larger scale.

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.
