Celeb DNC Travel: A Protest, Onscreen

August 28, 2008 at 8:45 AM | 0 Comments

Please, I'm here to work! Charlize Theron keeps her head down en route to the premiere of her new politically motivated movie "Battle in Seattle" in Denver yesterday.

The directorial debut of Theron's beau Stuart Townsend costars Ray Liotta, Andre 3000 and Channing Tatum and takes place during the 1999 WTO protests in Washington state. While negotiations faltered inside, nonviolent crowds outside prompted the city to call in the National Guard, but talks eventually had to be relocated to Qatar. (Liotta plays the embattled mayor!)

Hopefully the flick won't induce traumatic flashbacks in any DNC visitors who may have also been active in that movement.
