Film 'Putin' starring Slawomir Sobala to debut in 64 countries on January 10
The film "Putin," starring Slawomir Sobala, will open on January 10 in 64 countries, including about 200 in the U.S. The biopic explores Vladimir Putin's rise to power and features AI-enhanced visuals to portray the character. Directed by Patryck Vega, the film was shot in various locations, including Poland, Ukraine, and Israel, often under dangerous conditions. Vega aims to provide insight into Putin's mindset and the political climate surrounding him. The film's release coincides with speculation about a potential summit between Putin and Donald Trump. The role of AI in acting raises questions about its impact on the industry, as Sobala's performance blurs the lines of traditional acting.
