Final Poster and Trailer for 'Battle in Seattle'

Taking on the demonstrators

Redwood Palms has just made available the final poster and the final trailer for their upcoming rehash of the WTO debacle in Seattle with Battle in Seattle. The ensemble film stars Charlize Theron, André Benjamin, Martin Henderson, Woody Harrelson, Ray Liotta, Michelle Rodriguez, Jennifer Carpenter, Channing Tatum, Tzi Ma and Joshua Jackson and was written and directed by Theron's main squeeze Stuart Townsend.

The film takes an in-depth look at the five days that rocked the world in 1999 as tens of thousands of demonstrators took to the streets in protest of the World Trade Organization. What began as a peaceful protest intended to stop the WTO talks quickly escalated into a full-scale riot and eventual State of Emergency that squared off peaceful and unarmed protestors against the Seattle Police Department and the National Guard. Suffice to say, it was not one of Seattle's proudest moments... or was it?

You can check out the trailer and the poster below and more stills here. Battle in Seattle hits limited theaters on September 19.

Aren't you from Seattle Brad? If yes, we're you there when this went on in 1999?
