‘Battle in Seattle’ Domestic Trailer and Photos

Stuart Townsend’s “Battle in Seattle” domestic trailer has been unveiled. The film’s impressive cast is comprised of Woody Harrelson, Charlize Theron, Andre Benjamin, Michelle Rodriguez, Ray Liotta, Joshua Jackson and Channing Tatum.
Based on one of the most incendiary political uprisings in a generation, 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 (WTO).

With a signature blend of action, humor and character-based spectacle, the saga of the world’s toughest, kitten-loving hero from Hell continues to unfold in “Hellboy II: The Golden Army.” Bigger muscle, badder weapons and more ungodly villains arrive in an epic vision of imagination from Oscar-nominated director Guillermo del Toro (Pan’s Labyrinth, Hellboy).
