A trailer for CHE
Wednesday, December 03, 2008
Here’s the latest trailer for Steven Soderbergh’s epic Che:
It appears that Che Guevara really is more than just a cool image on a t-shirt. Guevara was an Argentine Marxist revolutionary, politician, author, physician, military theorist, guerrilla leader and obviously someone worth making a very long film about. So long, four and on half hours in fact, that it required being broken into two parts. The first one called The Argentinian is due for a January 2009 release and the second part, entitled Guerrilla, is slated for a month later, in February 2009.
I guess the above trailer covers both films.
All kidding aside, Benicio del Toro has already received a best acting award from Cannes for his performance, so watch for an Oscar nod for him as well.

Trailer for Soderbergh’s Che biopic
Tuesday, November 18, 2008
Innovative film director Steven Soderbergh’s film about the Argentinian Marxist revolutionary, Che Guevera, is so long at 4 and 1/2 hours that it had to be split into two films to be distributed domestically by IFC Films. The first one called The Argentinian is set for release in January of 2009 and the second, entitled Guerrilla, is slated for a February release.
Of not, Soderbergh shot the epic project on RED cameras. RED cameras use no film at all and are fully digital.
Check out the trailer after the jump.

Jackman and Zeta-Jones to rock out in Cleopatra
Friday, October 24, 2008
Making a film with Catherine Zeta-Jones as Cleopatra I can see. Casting Hugh Jackman as Marc Antony, OK, I’m good with that. But if you want to talk about unusual, I’d say having eclectic film director Steven Soderberg helm the film and making the film a rock and roll musical is up there.
Variety is reporting that’s precisely what the Ocean’s Eleven-through-Thirteen and Che director is looking to do soon. Soderbergh is seeking $30 million of investment to make his musical Cleopatra movie and is looking for a studio to release the film. As he assembles the financials for that movie Soderbergh is also prepping to make The Girlfriend Experience as his next project. That one stars a porn star named Sasha Grey as a $10K a night call girl. But to understand how busy a guy Soderbergh is, get this: he just finished a movie with Matt Damon called The Informant and his next-to-be-released is a massively long biopic about legendary guerilla fighter Che Guevara starring Benecio Del Toro as the man. Soderbergh doesn’t sleep; the guy has to be a robot.
