Soderbergh, Del Toro reunite on 'Che' film

LOS ANGELES, April 5 (UPI) -- Oscar-winning filmmaker Steven Soderbergh has replaced Terrence Malick as director of a new big-screen biography about revolutionary Che Guevara.

The project reunited Soderbergh with Benicio Del Toro, Oscar-winning star of his drama, "Traffic."

Malick, who co-wrote the script for "Che" with Del Toro, left the project to work with Colin Farrell on "The New World," reported the World Entertainment News Network.

Soderbergh is now negotiating to keep Del Toro's supporting cast members: Ryan Gosling, Benjamin Bratt and Javier Bardem on the project, which is expected to start filming this summer.
