Che

On behalf of IFC Films and indieWIRE, we are pleased to announce that an exclusive Steven Soderbergh interview and clip from Che is now live on indieWIRE.com!

One week before his two-part epic, "Che," opens in New York and Los Angeles, filmmaker Steven Soderbergh talks with Anthony Kaufman in an interview published today at indieWIRE.com. "Since premiering in Cannes," writes Kaufman (author of "Steven Soderbergh: Interviews"), "'Che' has been hailed as both a masterpiece and misguided; eitherway, it's one of the most ambitious films in Soderbergh's career--a 'frustrating' one, he acknowledges--and a fascinating, beautifully rendered reinvention of the bio-pic."In his New York production office, Soderbergh reflected on his career, talked about video-on-demand, the RED digital camera, landscape photography and the benefits of being nice. Today's indieWIRE interview includes an exclusive video clip from the IFC Films release. On December 12, "Che" will be released for one week in New York and Los Angeles as a single 257-minute film with intermission and in theatres nationwide in two parts on Jan. 9th, debuting on VOD starting Jan. 21, 2009.

21 Grams: Mercy

This scene is with the amazing Benicio Del Toro dealing with his demons and speaking bible scriptures that validates the sins that he committed were God's will. It's a very powerful scene and speaks volumes to Del Toro's work as an actor. Excellent scene.

Ugly Sexy: Benicio Del Toro

Benicio Del Toro is the epitomy of ugly sexy.

Ya know that category of men who are kinda grimy and ruff at times, but can clean up real well and the sexiness comes thru?

Or those guys that look ruff as hell, but still have that sexy swagger and don't even try hard to do it?

Benicio is one of those guys.

He was the clean cut white collar personal assistant to Kevin Spacey in Swimming With The Sharks.

Then he was Benny, the friend of the heroin-addicted painter in Basquiat

Then he played mumbling thief Fred Fenster in The Usual Suspects.

We certainly can't forget his performance as good cop with a conscience in Traffic.

However, one of his most strongest performances to date was the guilt ridden drunk driver in 21 Grams.

We love Benicio. He's won an Oscar, Golden Globe, and not one but TWO Independent Spirit Awards.

Did you see him in Things We Lost In The Fire??? He was soooooo sexy. He may have another Oscar on his hands too becuz of that performance. Does anyone know if this man is single? FINE THANG that he is....he could get it.

We not only love him because he makes for good eye candy. But we love his style, acting, and humility as an actor in Hollywood. Keep on keepin on.
