Criterion will release The Argentine and Guerrilla
next October. The exact date has yet to be confirmed.
During an interview with the Puerto Rican newspaper
Primera Hora last January 29, 2009, Steven Soderbergh
said the following:
"We have a pile of scenes that did not make it to
the final film that we would like to include. Also a whole
mountain of investigative material that we compiled:
video interviews, secret documents that have been
revealed, documentary material in general. This is
going to be an enormous work for someone at
Criterion, but it is going to be a fantastic disc.
It made me very happy to learn that we
reached an agreement with Criterion,
because they are the best."

Emma Pill, location manager for The Wolfman,
was on-site at Chatsworth in the spring of 2008.
Here's what she said about the location:
"Our time on preparation and filming at Chatsworth
was fantastic. The Wolfman was a large feature film
to accommodate, and Chatsworth took on the production
with an open mind. The team at Chatsworth were nothing but
excellent and professional, dealing with our ever changing schedule
and plans, and I would certainly like to go back to film there again.
The house and grounds are truly a wonderful film location."

The Wolfman trailer has generated a lot
of positive comments online, such as:
"From the looks of it, the movie is looking like
being a worthy contender in the best ever list
of all the other movies in this genre, beginning
with the very classic American Werewolf In London."
"The trailer is a little more than two minutes
and in the duration achieves the objective for
which it had been set. It genuinely scares the viewer."

The Argentine and Guerrilla DVD reviews from the UK:
"Yet Benicio del Toro's Che is terrific: his heroic
little smile and passionate reserve make this
revolutionary's charisma believable (and justify
his Cannes award). The protracted combat scenes
towards the end of each Part are quite magnificient."
"Del Toro is the soul behind Che".
