There’s been a lot of speculation, even around here, as to whether Steven Soderbergh’s vision of Che Guevara which was shown in one sitting at Cannes, will ever see the light day. Will it be one movie? Two movies? Shown separately? Together? Cut? There are many questions most of which remain unanswered.

The film still doesn’t have a distribution date for the US but I noticed while doing a bit of pocking around that there’s a bit of inconsistency in the releases. I was originally under the impression that The Argentine was the second film in the grouping but it may well be the fist since it has a Spanish release date of September 5th with no US release scheduled where as Guerrilla has no release dates scheduled at all. This is further supported by the fact that we now have a Spanish trailer for the film which went live yesterday. I could have been confused in my initial understanding of which story comes first or this could be a combination of the two films. At this point, your guess is as good as mine. What is clear is that the Spaniards will get to see this first and further, it suggests that the studio has no idea of what to do with this film for a North American audience.

The trailer itself is a bit grainy and the sound slightly distorted but it still looks good and the dialog, what little of it there is, hints at what we can expect. At one point, there’s a comment that a population that can’t read is a population that can be persuaded. Looks like Soderbergh is aiming for the jugular.
