Benicio Del Toro as Che Guevara | Guerilla & The Argentine... Winner in Cannes 2008
Steven Soderbergh's The Argentine stars Benicio Del Toro as Che Guevara. The film opens with Che as one of the important figures in the growing Cuban rebellion led by Fidel Castro. The movie charts how the two successfully built an underground army large enough to successfully overthrow the government of Fulgencio Batista. Soderbergh and Del Toro team up again for a second biopic of Guevara titled Guerrilla, a movie that focuses on his life in the years after the Cuban revolution. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide, More info: http://www.theargentinemovie.com/

Soderbergh plans double Che Guevara biopic Steven Soderbergh has always wanted to direct a biopic about Che Guevara - and now he's compensating for the wait by planning not just one movie, but two. The Traffic director will shoot two movies about the life of the iconic Argentine-born revolutionary. In addition to Guerrilla, which was announced earlier this year, Soderbergh will make another film.
The Traffic director will shoot two movies about the life of the iconic Argentine-born revolutionary. In addition to Guerrilla, which was announced earlier this year, Soderbergh will make another film called The Argentine, reported Variety. Benicio Del Toro will play Guevara in both movies. Javier Bardem, Franka Potente and Benjamin Bratt are in talks to play key roles. The Argentine will focus on the Cuban revolution, from the moment Fidel Castro, Guevara and other revolutionaries landed on the Caribbean island until they toppled the dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista two years later. Guerrilla will focus on the years following the Cuban revolution beginning with Guevara's trip to the UN headquarters in New York in 1964, until his death in the Bolivian mountains in 1967. Soderbergh will shoot Guerrilla and The Argentine back to back, with most of the dialogue in Spanish.
