#12. Guerrilla
Director: Steven Soderbergh
Writers: Peter Buchman (Eragon), Ben Van Der Veen and Steven Soderbergh
Producers: Laura Bickford (Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus), Del Toro and Soderbergh
Distributor: Focus Features
The Gist: This is about the life and death of Cuban revolutionary Che
Guevara. The true story of Argentinean-born doctor and revolutionary leader
Ernesto “Che” Guevara (1928-1967), most famous for leading Fidel Castro’s forces
against Batista. Part 2 (Guerrilla),” begins with Che’s trip to New York, where he spoke at the
United Nations in 1964 and was celebrated in society circles.
Fact: Terrence Malick was originally going to direct this project. He directed The New World instead.
See It: Tailor-made for Benicio Del Toro – there is no one else we would rather see take on such an iconic role.
Release Date/Status?: Now in post-production, it all depends on what Focus Features plan to do with Volume 1. My guess is this gets a holiday release and the first film will be featured in the fall.
