SYNOPSIS
: This film will follow
the revolutionary career of Che Guevara (Del Toro),
from his roots as an Argentina doctor, to Cuba
where he led the efforts to overthrow Batista,
and later, to Bolivia, where he was eventually
killed.
Franka plays Tamara Bunke (a.k.a. Tania the Guerilla),
a communist revolutionary, who was the only woman
to fight along Che Guevara. Bunke was killed by
Bolivian soldiers during an ambuscade at Vado
del Yeso, on August 31 1967.
Originally, Terrence
Malick was to direct, but the project ended
to Steven
Soderbergh. Franka confessed she
couldn't help but be disappointed about not working
with Malick: "“because as much
as I admire Steven Soderbergh’s work, Terrence
Malick doesn’t work that often and he’s
a milestone of American film history to me. Steven
does like one movie a year so there’s a
possibility we’d work together again while
with Terrence there are not so many possibilities.”
