Trailer For Battle In Seattle

By Katey Rich: 2008-04-10 14:25:52
Trailer For Battle In Seattle Battle in Seattle actor Stuart Townsend’s directorial debut has been kicked around the release calendar for years now. At some point it was supposed to come out in early 2007, then it was going to be out last month, and now it’s been moved to an undetermined date this year. Normally that’s a sign of a total stinker, but honestly, Battle in Seattle is really good. You can read my review here if you don’t believe me.

Now the movie at least has a trailer, which is a good sign that it will come out sometime in our lifetime. With protests going on worldwide against the Beijing Olympics, it seems like good timing. You see, Battle in Seattle is a dramatization of the 1999 WTO protests in Seattle, when thousands of protesters clogged the streets and eventually caused riots, all to bring attention to the havoc wreaked by globalization. Yeah, it’s a complicated concept, but the movie plays out like a thriller, following various groups who are in Seattle at the time and sketching out the conflicts between the police and protesters that eventually led to violence.

The big names of the movie, from Charlize Theron to Andre Benjamin, wisely get a lot of screen time in the trailer, and the bombastic music and action scenes make the movie seem more like a high-octane thriller than the political effort it truly is. But hey, no shame in that! Battle in Seattle isn’t just a movie for protesting hippies, and has some genuine thrills in it; people going into it wanting to see shit blow up will probably be disappointed, but there’s something for pretty much everyone in this movie.

Head over to MovieSet.com to see the trailer and get a much better sense of what the movie is about. And go see it, uh, whenever it comes out. Provided it comes out. Will someone please release this movie already?

    I would see this movie but...

    Andre 3000 was dating someone named Eufaula Garrett. She couldn`t get a job then he hired her as his assistant. Then he made Moxie Film Productions and hired her as his partner. Obviously the girl cannot get a job. She leaked to the press that she was the woman in Andre`s life. He then dissed her. Started sleeping with other women along his travels all over the world. Eufaula Garrett still works for him which is lame. As for Buckey, if she did sleep with Andre 3000, she isn`t now. Who knows, Andre 3000 is so messed up that he probably is dating everyone and their mother. He is gross for stringing Eufaula Garrett and other women along making them believe that they actually have a chance with him. He is just too lazy to masturbate.

    EUFAULA IS LAME!! POSTING ALL THESE MESSAGES TO GET PRESS!! YOU'RE OLD ENOUGH TO KNOW BETTER THAN THAT!!! ANDRE NEVER WANTED TO WIFE YOU, HE JUST NEEDED AN ASSISTANT!! THAT'S ALL YOU ARE GOOD FOR!! EUFAULA CAN'T KEEP A MAN WITH HER FAT ASS!! ANDRE IS ON TO SOMETHING BETTER NOW ANYWAY!!! LOSER

  1. Johnnie Bravo-atypical! Says:

    As I've stated before, whatever, whoever she is, it doesn't matter, becuase Andre Benjamin is way to complex and individual to deal with any "typical" woman in his life and in my opinion that is all these other girls are....."typical"
