Stuart Townsend has finally given in to that age-old movie maxim: what he really wants to do is direct.
And he’s landed a big, sexy star for the lead of Battle In Seattle: Charlize Theron. Can’t thing how a first-time writer-director swung that… Oh, wait. Girlfriend.
Battle is set during 1999’s demonstrations at the World Trade Organisation meeting in Seattle that erupted into chaos and resulted in the WTO leaving the city. The story will follow several of the participants through the events.
