What's left behind the scenes

Benicio del Toro suggested Ryan Gosling for the role of Benigno "Ben" Ramirez. In preparation for the role, Gosling met the real-life counterpart of his character and learned to speak a little Spanish, however, excessively long preparation for filming ultimately forced him to leave the project.
In one scene, Che snatches a bazooka from a comrade and demolishes the barracks with his first shot. Initially, it was planned that Che would first miss and only hit the barracks on the second attempt, but daylight was running out, and the cinematographer convinced director Steven Soderbergh to remove the "wild shot" from the script.
The scenes with Che in the UN building were filmed two years before the start of principal photography. Producer Laura Bickford found out that the building was going to be renovated and organized the filming of Che Guevara's speech. These are the only scenes in the entire film that were shot on 16mm film; everything else was shot digitally.
Initially, the plot, limited to Che's attempts to start a revolution in Bolivia, was being filmed by Terrence Malick, but he left the project due to funding problems, and Steven Soderbergh eventually took his place as director.
