Ernesto "Che" Guevara

*It has been four decades since his death and there are always new stories to be told about this revolutionary icon. This year there are two books that will be released soon and two movies being filmed back-to-back.

Book and Movie Titles:
A book on his home life written by his widow will be published in Cuba in March 2008, titled Evocations.

A Mexican publisher has printed what it claims are the contents of a dog-eared notebook
(The Green Notebook of Che) which was found on his body and kept locked away for years in a Bolivian army vault.

The Argentine is being shot in the mountains of Puerto Rico, follows Che during his days with Fidel Castro in the Sierra Maestra and ends with the Cuban leader's ascension to power.

Guerrilla will shoot in Bolivia and Spain, which tells of Che's misguided attempt to start a revolution among Bolivia's peasants, which ended in his death.
