Rope of Silicon‘s Brad Brevet calls this international trailer for Steven Soderbergh‘s Che: El Argentino a “high quality” thing…really? It looks muddy to me. It doesn’t even look decent. What’s the deal with the materials on this film, Wild Bunch? Trying to shave costs?Please take notice of the train-going-off-the-track shot. It’s a quick one, but it’s not CGI — it’s a real, full-sized train really going off the rails. I asked Soderbergh at the Che press conference in Cannes if this is the first train-wipeout shot using verite footage since John Frankenheimer‘s The Train (’64). Whatever the truth, he didn’t want to get into it. He went “no, no, no, no…I don’t know.”
