New Poster, Trailer for Soderbergh's Che Guevara Movie, 'The Argentine'

From the Argentinean website NeoCineTV by way of Cinema Blend comes this new poster for The Argentine, the Steven Soderbergh-directed biopic of Che Guevara starring Benicio Del Toro. I know it's kind of confusing, but there are actually two biopics about Che; the other one is called Guerilla, and Soderbergh directed that one too, and again, Del Toro plays Guevara.

Here's where it gets harder to follow: Soderbergh may still join the two films into one four-hour epic simply called Che.

I'm a broken record on movie lengths. Some, like The Right Stuff (which I'm dying to see again), works at three hours long for the exact reason it wouldn't work at two hours: The story dictates it. I think because Guevara had such a full life, and because it was, to a degree, compartmentalized, having two films instead of a monster-sized one makes sense to me. It's like making a John Lennon movie and putting all the Beatles stuff and the New York City stuff together. You'd be better off with two distinct movies.

Anyway...here's the poster for the first of the two Che biopics, The Argentine.

And wouldn't you know it? Now there's a trailer from the film, too, which we snagged at Ropes of Silicon.

The Argentine will probably be released in the U.S. this fall; it opens in Spain next week and in the UK in January.
