While we were wrapped up in the spectacular closing ceremonies of the Olympics, Brad Brevet at Rope of Silicon found an international poster for Che, and cleans up the Spanish-language trailer.
As Brad points out, it’s coming down to wire for Che to find a float to ride in time for this season’s Oscar Parade. Premiering May 12 at Cannes, Che has two more high-profile platforms from which to attract a distributor — screening Sept 9th and 10th in Toronto (no, it’s not the 48-hour cut, smart-alecks), and Oct 7th at NYFF. Were there major contenders still without distribution after Toronto last year? Should I take a break from worrying about Che when we have our own revolution happening in Denver this week?

“Revolution” my dear Ryan? The only “Change” I can guarantee at least in this year’s elections if Obama wins is a change in officeholders.
Anyway, what’s up with the Biden pick? An also-ran, Washington insider full of “experience” that’s older than dirt (so old he probably pisses dust) from an electoral college-insignificant state…
HOLY SHIT, Obama picked his Cheney!
This is like if in RETURN OF THE JEDI, instead of Darth Vader throwing the Emperor over the railing, he simply kills him, takes over as Emperor and makes Luke Skywalker his #1 enforcer. New Shit, Same Old Shit.
Alright, my joking aside………..I wonder if CHE will go back to being released as two movies after all?
It’ll be revolution enough for me if we can prevent the third coup in a row.
Vice President Mos Def would’ve been a more interesting choice, I agree. But there are a whole lot of jittery white people that need some reassuring, so I understand choosing Biden.
“Obama picked his Cheney!”
Major difference, if you recall: Cheney picked himself.
I’m hoping that Che can avoid last minute distribution and Academy screening problems to avoid ending up like Children of Men or something. I’m anticipating good work by Del Toro, at minimum, that I hope will not go unnoticed.
When the first night of a convention is devoted to honoring Ted Kennedy, there is no revolution taking place.
And it’ll be revolution enough for ME if we get a prez who can pronounce “nuclear.” If McCain and Obama both can do it, I don’t even need to vote!
I think somebody must have placed a wicked hex of mystical boredom on this Che movie. It’s exactly the sort of thing that I should be interested in seeing, but every time I read about it I get sleepy. It happened with the above poster, too! That’s probably why it hasn’t nabbed a distributor. It’s under a sleepy-time curse!
I agree, Gentle Benj. There MUST be a curse because I feel exactly the same way you do.
I’m just…not interested. And it baffles me.
Hey, buddy, look out! I think your shoulder is on fire!
That’s funny K Trout.
Speaking of which, I still think Governor Sebelius of Kansas should have been picked by Obama instead of Joe “Barack is Clean!” Biden.
But whatever, that’s over with and now I must worry more about how to express in only a few words in my review how fucking mediocre DEATH RACE is.
Fuck you Paul W.S. Anderson.
I just hope Benicio can match Vincent Chase’s work in MEDELLIN.
RRA: Can you really picture Americans voting for a black dude and a woman at the same time? That is just too much non white, non male for Americans to handle. You might have the good sense to vote for someone who is qualified but do people in rural West Virginia have good sense?
Yes, pity the poor rural West Virginians, who lack the wondrous intellect-expanding bus fumes of our great cities.
