Benicio Del Toro’s New ‘Che’ Film

Not content with only one disingenuous biography of mass executioner Ernesto “Che” Guevara, Hollywood’s now got plans for another Che-flattering flick.

In Tinseltown, historical reality routinely loses out to radical chic.

The real lowdown is that Guevara helped Castro come to power in Cuba and personally carried out executions for him.

The same group that wanted California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to stop the execution of multiple murderer Tookie Williams because of opposition to capital punishment have no problem walking around in Che T-shirts, despite the fact that on a routine basis Guevara carried out summary executions for Castro, assassinating hundreds of innocent people.

The other recent fawning Che biopic was Robert Redford’s 2004 film, “The Motorcycle Diaries,” a twisted tribute to the thug’s youthful days.

Now Oscar winner Benicio del Toro will reportedly portray the ardent Argentine communist in a movie that will reunite the actor with director Steve Soderbergh. Del Toro picked up an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his work with Soderbergh in the critically acclaimed 2000 film, “Traffic.”

Del Toro’s Web site refers to Che as “many things to many people: an exemplary human, a hero, a tyrant, a fanatic.”

Well, the actor got the last two descriptions right.

The site also divulges the upcoming Che movie title, “Guerrilla,” and lists Ryan Gosling and Benjamin Bratt as being among the cast.

And Julia Ormond, who starred with Brad Pitt in “Legends of the Fall” will co-star, according to the Internet Movie Database.
