Michelle Rodriguez has been cast as a co-lead alongside Charlize Theron in a new film called Battle in Seattle. She begins filming on Wednesday (Nov. 1st).
Battle in Seattle was written (and will be directed) by Theron's boyfriend, actor Stuart Townsend. It tells the tale of the true story of the World Trade Organization protests that occured in Seattle back in 1999. Basic premise: "When tens of thousands of protesters took to the streets of Seattle and clashed violently with police on the sidelines of the World Trade Organisation meeting there. The National Guard was called in to help quell the unrest."
Other cast attached to the project is Woody Harrelson, Ray Liotta, and Andre Benjamin (a.k.a. Andre 3000). Rumors recently circulating also had Susan Sarandon and Chris Evans attached to the film, although these two are unconfirmed.
Battle in Seattle currently has a 2008 release date.
This movie sounds great. I'm excited.
