Demand that your city gets to see “Battle in Seattle”
Monday, June 16, 2008
Apparently the official website for “Battle in Seattle” has started its own protest movement. If you go visit the site you will see a new application where you can demand (by means of submitting your vote) that the film be screened in your home town. The app can also be downloaded and shared on your website, such as is the case on the official website for “Battle in Seattle” star Channing Tatum.”Battle in Seattle”, directed by actor-turned-director/writer Stuart Townsend, centers on the explosive events that took place in the emerald city during the 1999 World Trade Organization conference. Townsend got a wide assortment of stars to take part in his film including Ray Liotta (”Goodfellas”), Woody Harrelson (”Kingpin”), Michelle Rodriguez (”Resident Evil”), Joshua Jackson (”Dawson’s Creek”), Connie Nielsen (”Gladiator”), Andre Benjamin (”Four Brothers”) and Charlize Theron (the upcoming “Hancock”).The last I heard, “Battle in Seattle” was scheduled to open this coming fall in theaters, but this latest development may show the movie’s distributors that the picture could benefit from a wider release. Already the have been many people from different parts of America place their “demand” into the app. Check the site to see if someone from your city has demanded that “Battle in Seattle” come to your neck of the woods. Maybe you can be the first to demand it!

Battle In Seattle Website Up
Friday, March 02, 2007
Our friends over at Channing Tatum Unwrapped mentioned that one of the films MovieSet has been promoting, Battle In Seattle, has launched its official site, which can be viewed by clicking here.
I really like the approach Insight has taken with the website. Okay yeah, so you’re thinking, “Wow, that a biased opinion since you’ve been promoting the same movie”, but give me a chance to explain.
For my Master’s thesis, one of the topics I studied was how to enhance the experience of a film through its website. One way to do this is by taking story-related information and building upon it, more than the film does. In Battle In Seattle’s site, what they’ve done in the ‘Cast’ section is added links that relate to the issues a character is concerned with. For example, Martin Henderson’s character Jay, is concerned with forestry issues, so the links on his character’s page take site visitors to related topics. Essentially, features like this add to the depth of the film and create more fan involvement.
There are a number of ways this could be leveraged in Battle In Seattle’s site, mainly because the theme of the movie is so strong and it’s related to a well-known real-life situation, but it’s definitely a great start. I know they’ll be updating it as time progresses, so I would definitely recommend checking back.
