Benicio Del Toro to play Ernesto 'Che' Guevara

Oscar-winning actor , Benicio Del Toro is set to play Argentine revolutionist , Ernesto 'Che' Guevara in a new movie.

Although the movie's production company, Telecinco Cinema, did not release
the title, Del Toro's official website says it will be called 'Guerrilla'.
Shooting will take place across Spain for nine weeks, and it will be filmed
entirely in Spanish.

The movie reunites Del Toro with director Steve Soderbergh for the first time since
'Traffic', for which Del Toro won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his
portrayal of a Mexican police officer.

In 2005, Del Toro was paid $5 million to do nothing - when a film was
canceled at the last minute.

The actor confessed: "It's true, I got paid for doing nothing. The movie
fell through a week or two before filming. So I got caught with nothing to
do.
"But I don't do it for the dough. The studio felt it was going to be more
expensive than they thought and put it on hold. They are trying to get it
off the ground, though."
