Benicio Del Torro (21 Grams) has been spotted in his Che Guevara outfit
on the set of his new Steven Soderbergh-directed epic about the Argentinean revolutionary
simply titled Che. The flic will also star Javier Bardem (The Dancer Upstairs,
who is rumored to portray Fidel Castro), Ryan Gosling (The Notebook),
Benjamin Bratt (The Woodsman) and Franka Potente (Run, Lola, Run).
Great, pretty soon we can expect to be bombarded by even more little punk/ska
jerk-offs who haven’t hit puberty yet and know absolutely nothing about
this guy (and I’m the first to admit I don’t know much past “Argentinean
revolutionary who fought for the people”) adorning shirts featuring Che’s
iconic image probably replaced by Del Torro’s visage. I can’t wait
to pass one of these kids on the street and clothesline him across the thorax.
Check it out in all its glory here.
