It seems every Hollywood couple, at one time or another decide to work on a project together, for better or worse. Some do it well (Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas) while others let the film go down in flames as well as their relationship (Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck). Keeping with the trend, another glamorous duo are set to work side by side. Charlize Theron
has been attached to Irish boyfriend Stuart Townsend’s
script and directorial debut, Battle in Seattle.
The film is set in 1999, during the World Trade Organization meeting in Seattle. An eclectic group of demonstrators, including environmental activists, doctors, anarchists, attorneys, eco-terrorists and just plain folks, brings the city to a state of near-chaos, and chases the WTO straight out of town.
Both Theron and Townsend have been busy with other upcoming projects. She’s starring in Alan Parker’s The Ice at the Bottom of the World as well as returning to her role as Stella Bridger in The Brazilian Job. He’s appearing in Marcos Siega’s Chaos Theory and wondering how he got such a hot girlfriend.
