REMINDER: Channing Tatum’s ‘Battle in Seattle’ Premieres in 4 New US Cities and on DVD Overseas

October and November have been busy months for Channing Tatum’s drama ‘Battle in Seattle‘ all around the world.

Most recently, actors Charlize Theron and Martin Henderson and director Stuart Townsend all attended the 32nd Annual Cairo International Film Festival (CIFF) in Egypt where they gave a press conference at the Sofitel El Gezirah hotel this week to promote BIS, which was considered to be one of the must-see films of this year’s festival.

In addition the the various US releases around the country, I have learned that the film was also released in theaters in Spain and Portugal in October and was released on DVD for the first time in the Netherlands on October 29th. ‘Battle in Seattle‘ will next be released on DVD in Finland on January 14, 2009.

Finally, although a specific release date has not been announced yet, the site Flicks.co.nz says that ‘Battle in Seattle‘ will also premiere in New Zealand some time in 2009.

REMINDER: Channing Tatum’s ‘Battle in Seattle’ Premieres in Nebraska & Alberta, Canada

Fans can CLICK HERE to get details on many of the cities, dates, theaters, and times where the movie is currently showing and will be premiering soon.

Based on one of the most incendiary political uprisings in a generation, Stuart Townsend’s ‘Battle in Seattle‘ 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 protesters against the Seattle Police Department and the National Guard. Channing Tatum plays one of the outnumbered riot cops in the film.

Told through true events, ‘Battle in Seattle‘ seamlessly intertwines compelling points of view from a cross-section of society “from protesters and police to delegates and doctors” with no perspective left untold from those who intentionally or accidentally find themselves on the streets of Seattle on those last days of the millennium. Dramatic theatrical performances merge with actual footage of the event to bring these contrasting viewpoints to the screen.

REMINDER: Channing Tatum’s ‘Battle in Seattle’ Premieres in 13 More Cities

When actor, director, producer, and writer Stuart Townsend created ‘Battle in Seattle‘, he hoped the film would inspire moviegoers (especially the younger generation) by letting them know that they can make a difference. Stuart has said that his goal of delivering this message to the masses heavily influenced his casting process, which is why he chose to cast likable and popular actors like Andre Benjamin, Martin Henderson, Woody Harrelson, Charlize Theron, and Channing Tatum in the film.

The Irish Voice just wrote a great review of ‘Battle in Seattle‘ that I wanted to share. You can read a snippet of the review below and CLICK HERE to read the entire article:

---

“Films about big political issues rarely find a big audience, but Battle in Seattle is different. Featuring powerful performances from Hollywood A-listers, it’s a hard-hitting action movie that pulls you in on a personal level from its opening frame…

HOW do you get the public to flock to a film about the effects of globalization when their eyes are already closing at the mention of the word?

Answer — you fill it with stars the public love and you make it a white-knuckle thrill ride. That way they’ll be hugely entertained, you’ll get your message across — and that’s before you even get to the part about Oscar level supporting role performances…”

Now, even more fans will get an opportunity to see the film that just received 3 stars from uber critic Roger Ebert and to watch their favorite actors deliver Stuart’s timely message, because ‘Battle in Seattle‘ just premiered in the following cites across the country:

Stuart Townsend on ‘Battle in Seattle’ and Battling Hollywood

Half a decade ago, Stuart Townsend — of Irish-indie and Charlize Theron–beloved fame — wasn’t getting roles he liked, so he decided to strike out on his own, crafting an ambitious, multi-narrative drama based on the protests that took over Seattle (and the World Trade Organization’s big conference there) in 1999. The brutally riveting film Battle in Seattle — starring Woody Harrelson, André Benjamin, Ray Liotta, and yes, Theron — hits theaters tonight. Townsend chatted with Vulture about his inspirations for the movie, the struggles of making it in Hollywood, and the pleasures of working with a certain A-list blonde.

I really liked the movie, but this seems like kind of a nightmarish, huge-scale project to pick for your first time directing…
I was definitely trying to make things as difficult as possible for myself. No, it certainly wasn’t easy. Oftentimes I’d find myself thinking, God, I wish this was about two guys in a room. Like Dinner With Andre. That would have been easy. But this was a story I really wanted to tell. I was really passionate about it so I just had to go and do it. For six years. [Laughs.]

And how did you find working with Charlize?
Honestly, she makes my job really easy because she’s really fucking good. I actually think the hardest part is when you’ve written this scene and there she goes and she just does the scene perfectly, exactly how I wanted, and that’s take one! And then she’s like, “Okay, so, now what else do you want?” And I’m like, “God, I don’t know.” Because that’s exactly what I imagined. You know, most of the time you spend coaxing stuff out of actors. With her it’s right there and then you gotta go, “Oh shit, what else can I come up with? I’m supposed to be directing here.” That’s a real gift.

You mentioned it took six years to make. Why so long?
It took me a year and a half to research it, six months to write it, and then I spent half a year with a producer who then walked off the film. So I went back and rewrote, which took me a year and a half, and the day after I rewrote it I got financers, and after that it moved pretty quickly. And then we sold it to Thinkfilm, and they imploded. So the film spent quite a bit of time on the shelf before Redwood Films decided to release it.

It’s kind of the standard indie tale.
Exactly. Struggle, struggle, struggle, and then … more struggle. [Laughs.]

In the film there really emerges the sense that the cops and the protesters in Seattle were waging this war on each other while the real culprits were hiding away in their rooms somewhere.
Right. The bureaucrats and the lobbyists. The faceless untouchables. The more I studied the event and the more I read pro-free-trade books like Friedman and Bhagwati, and also the books criticizing free trade — Lori Wallach’s book on the WTO — the more I came to that conclusion. When I was writing the script, people kept asking me, Well, who’s the bad guy? And I couldn’t work it out. I said, “Well, the mayor should be the bad guy, but he’s not. And the WTO director general, he could be the bad guy, but he’s not. The police should be, but they’re not. And the anarchists,” and so on. I ended up coming to the conclusion that it was no one specific person. It’s sort of a legion of people who are pretty nameless and faceless. It’s the CEOs of corporations that are irresponsible, that don’t pay their workers properly. It’s the CEOs of corporations that are destroying the environment. It’s those guys.

In my last ‘Battle in Seattle‘ post, I let you all know about the cool, free ringtone that the film created just for us here at Channing Tatum Unwrapped, and I promised there was more to come.

Now the movie has gone a step further and created a never-before-seen, exclusive video clip with Channing Tatum footage from the film just for CTU readers!!!

As you may have noticed with the ringtone, Chan’s character Johnson (who is a pretty hardcore riot cop) does tend to use some strong language whenever he communicates with the other characters. I just thought I’d warn you, because the clip below is no different. Enjoy!!!

Finally, RopeOfSilicon.com just released another great review of the film. You can check out part of it below and CLICK HERE to read the entire thing:

“With an opening sequence that closely mirrors the opening moments of The Kingdom, Battle in Seattle hardly ever lets up and packs quite a powerful punch. How this film managed to slip through the cracks only to ultimately end up in the hands of Redwood Palm Pictures is beyond me, but they have a quality picture in their hot little hands. Directed by actor-turned-writer-director-producer Stuart Townsend this film boasts a huge ensemble cast and it hits all the right notes.”

I want to give another HUGE thanks to ‘Battle in Seattle‘ for providing the exclusive clip. I hope you all enjoyed it, and make sure to go see the movie if it is showing in your area.
