The 42-year-old American director will use recently declassified Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) files to help make his forthcoming Ernesto 'CHE' Guevara biopic.

The movie starring Benicio Del Toro, Javier Bardem, Benjamin Bratt, Ryan Gosling, Rob Macie, Franka Potente and Paul Vasquez is due to begin shooting next year.

CHE will relay on the CIA transcripts, Soderbergh announced in a press meeting at the Venice Film Festival.

The SOLARIS director will use the official documents for a better description of the moment when Guevara (Played by Benicio Del Toror) was executed in 1967 by Bolivian troops.

Previous films about Guevara inlude CHE! (1969), OLIVER STONE's COMMANDANTE documentary and the 2004 Walter Salles movie DIARIOS DE MOTOCICLETA (THE MOTORCYCLE DIARIES), starring Gael Garcia Bernal.
