Doin' it for the children of the revolution: Malick's directing
another movie before these kids graduate from college.
Production is set for four months, starting in July--
this July, 2004-- for Terrence Malick's next film,
Che, starring Benecio Del Toro as the world's most
logo-friendly marxist. Malick's writing and directing. Del Toro and Steven Soderbergh (I thought he was taking a year off?) will produce the $40 million picture, which comes--if you calculate by Malick-Time-- almost 14 years ahead of schedule (i.e., six, not twenty years after his last movie,
The Thin Red Line).
