possibility that Puerto Rico joins the
recycling project "Zero Waste 2020."

Steven Soderbergh attended a press conference
after the press screening of The Argentine and
Guerrilla on September 29, 2008 at the
New York Film Festival.
Mr. Soderbergh talked a bit about the "roadshow"
concept, through which the entire two-part film will
first hit theaters. He confirmed that in each market
the film enters, it will screen for just one week, on
one screen, with ticket buyers paying a premium
(probably $25 each, including full-color printed program)
for the experience. "I think that's the ideal way to see it,"
said Mr. Soderbergh, although he acknowledged that
"it's a lot to ask of an audience, to throw away an entire day."
After the film completes its initial one-week run at the
Zeigfeld theater in Midtown Manhattan in early December,
it will move on to other cities (and premiere on VOD),
but then the roadshow print will come back to New York
in January to take up residence at the IFC Center downtown.
The theater will then screen the full 4-something hour
extravaganza daily, until demand runs out.
