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.

Hey, um, great. Got anything in English? I know that we Arizonans should all speak Spanish by now, but uh, yeah, not there yet. Maybe you've been here a little longer than me.
Haha... Hey Kevin... do us all a favor and just skip this film. It's not for you as it would require a bit of reading.
Why the hell would it be in English? It's about Che and takes place in Argentina.
Right. This movie is about the modern liberator of Cuba and Castro's right hand man. It's not about Arpaio or McCain.
This is the international trailer. Hello Mcfly!
Who the heck is this "Che " guy?
A baker from an Italian bakery?
You ass!
He was an opera singer in Milan, Italy
THIS MOVIE BRINGS TRUTH TO BE REVEALED IN GENERATIONS TO COME ALL OVER THE WORLD
