While Steven Soderbergh released his epic-that-no-one-saw, “Che”, I found 2004′s “The Motorcycle Diaries” to be an intimate and compelling of Che Guevara before he became Che Guevara.  It rarely felt like an origin story and it made Guevara’s tale one of “I succeeded and you didn’t because I was me and you are you.”  The duo of director Walter Salles and writer Jose Rivera made that film work (along with a terrific performance by Gael Garcia Bernal) and I’m thrilled to report that they’ll be re-teaming to adapt the novel, “American Rust”.  Hit the jump for details.
