The recently released 2.5-minute trailer promises a detailed analysis of the Russian leader's life and psyche over 60 years, rendered in ultra-realistic detail through advanced AI technology.

"Inviting Putin to the studio for 20,000 shots wasn't an option," says director Patryk Vega, "and the archival materials available online didn't allow for training a high-resolution deepfake model suitable for cinematic use. As a result, after nearly two years of development, we've created our pioneering AI-driven technology, enabling us to craft the cinematic character without relying on a real human model."

Filmed over three years in locations such as the Russian Federation, Ukraine, Israel, Syria, Jordan, and Poland, the movie's timeliness is one of its most significant aspects. At one point, the narrative shifts to present day, offering viewers insights into the internal mechanisms of Russian politics that influenced the perception of the presidential elections in 2024. To enhance the film's realism, director Vega cooperated with Ukrainian cinematographers who recorded authentic events during city bombardments and soldiers' combat.

"Putin is not just a film," Vega states. "It's a response to a global quest to understand the motives and actions of one of the most controversial figures in contemporary politics. My production's mission is to provide viewers with a 'user manual' for Putin, aiming to alleviate the fear and uncertainty that dominate today's world."
