Che Poster And Trailer Arrives



AICN has an exclusive look at the Che Roadshow poster, and Yahoo! has the trailer up for Steven Soderbergh's 4+ hour epic.

Che will actually be released by IFC in two parts: the first in the aptly named Che Part 1: The Argentine and will cover the Cuban Revolution from when Che arrived in Cuba with Fidel Castro to the toppling of dictator Fulgencio Batista two years later; the second part is called Che Part 2: Guerilla and will focus on Che's attempted revolutions in Congo-Kinshasa and Bolivia, where he was (spoiler alert?) ultimately captured and executed.

Thus far, everything that I've seen and heard about the film has shown that Che will be the epic that someone as seminal and controversial as revolutionary Ernesto "Che" Guevara deserves. Benicio Del Toro did win the Best Actor award at Cannes 2008 and this looks to be Soderbergh operating at his best, so I can't wait to catch it.
