Benicio del Toro, Franka Potente and Julia Ormond were among the stars representing the film Che at a photocall in Cannes today. Directed by Steven Soderbergh, Che is actually two films in one, Argentine and Guerilla and lasts a whopping four hours and 18 minutes. Most critics are raving about the film and Del Toro’s performance, and say it’s a front-runner for the top prize at the festival. Che depicts the overthrow of Cuban dictator dictator Fulgencio Batista, and has plenty of battle scenes and action.
41 year-old Benicio del Toro is Che Guevera. German actress Franka Potente, 33, plays former Stasi operative Tamara “Tania” Bunke Bider, the only woman to fight with the rebels under Che. You may know Potente as Jason Bourne’s love interest, Marie, in the first two Bourne films or as Lola in the 1998 German film Run Lola Run. She’s a great actress and I’d love to see her in more Hollywood movies.
Also shown are Julia Ormond, Rodrigo Santoro, Catalina Sandino Moreno and director Steven Soderbergh. Thanks to WENN for these photos.

My favourite accent in the world is Argentinian Spanish - I wonder if Benicio will take it on?

Is Franka preggers?

AC I searched in English and German to see if Franka is pregnant and all I found was gossip in German speculating she might be because she looks heavier in these photos.

I LOVES me some BDT… and Franka P too, now that I realized who she is. Except when she dated Elijah Wood, I was jealous of her then.

That’s so sad.
I love Franka! The other Bourne movies weren’t the same without her.
