Charlize Theron talks ‘Battle in Seattle’

In an interview about “Battle in Seattle,” a much anticipated low-budget film about the 1999 World Trade Organization riots, Theron and Henderson talked about the movie like they were ready to go to bed. At one point, Theron had to ask Henderson what the movie was about.
“It’s, um, it’s based on real events that took place in Seattle in ‘99 … right?”
IndieExpress.com is no MTV. But come on. Perk up, girl.
Written and directed by Stuart Townsend, “Battle in Seattle” is set in the Emerald City but was shot mostly in Vancouver, a result of the Canadian city’s competitive production benefits and another cultural slight for us. We’re no second Hollywood. We actually get excited when the stars come to town, even if Jennifer Aniston did snub us for Miami last month and needed a green screen to be shot with the Fremont Troll.
