A film telling the story of the 1999 WTO riots in Seattle has been shooting in Vancouver. Stars include Woody Harrelson and Charlize Theron. Here's footage of a recreation (on West Hastings street) of the protest.

  • bullshit. why does hollywood have to turn everything into a product wrapped in cellophane? I was in the real "battle in seattle," it was something genuine and real in a world of grade a bullshit. fuck this hollywood crapola.

  • I hear ya, jwallbanger. But with Woody Harrelson on board, a pretty progressive guy, it might be a few notches above the usual H'w'd crapola. (Not that I'm expecting much...)

  • Yeah, I did a web search on the real event after I shot this footage, and the turtles were there but seemed quite different.

    But there were turtles.

    in the end capitalism is better than socialism or communism.

  • A lot of things that are supposed to be in Seattle or near seattle are filmed in Vancouver...Like Twilight. A lot of stuff used to be filmed there, but our glorious city and mayors realized the profit they could make and jacked up the price to film in the city. So rather than pay the money, film makers went else where with similar climate for cheaper. Hence Vancouver.

  • Anybody know the name of the movie they are shooting in New Westminster right now?

  • The reason directors film their Seattle based movies in Vancouver is to save money.

  • Why Vancouver though? You can tell by the stores and everything around there that it's not Seattle though, weird. Should be Battle in Vancouver.

  • lol the earlier comments are a bunch of people complaining about how it looks nothing like seattle. well, apperently the movie got great reviews and who cares if it's not filmed in seattle?

  • Thats hella gay they should filmed everything in seattle

  • It was filmed in a little of both. They couldn't recreate some elements of Seattle, lol. Canada steals all our filming locations.
