Che Guevara at the U.N.

With little hoopla, the United Nations has hosted its second-ever film production, serving as a backdrop for parts of a movie about Argentine revolutionary Che Guevara starring Oscar winner Benicio Del Toro.

Scenes for the film “Che,” expected to be released this year, were filmed at the world body’s New York headquarters last weekend, making it only the second movie to be shot inside the U.N. compound since it was built in 1952, U.N. chief spokesman Stephane Dujarric said Thursday.

Director Sidney Pollack’s “The Interpreter,” starring Nicole Kidman and Sean Penn, was the first film to be shot at the United Nations. It filmed there over 18 weekends in 2004 and was released last year.
