AIO Studios, a renowned production company, has announced the highly anticipated premiere date of their newest film, “Putin.” The film, directed by celebrated Polish director Patryk Vega, will debut on September 26, 2024, and will simultaneously be released in 35 countries, including major markets such as the USA and India.
The movie, featuring an AI-rendered version of Russian president Vladimir Putin, promises to offer a detailed analysis of his life and psyche over the course of 60 years. The recently released 2.5-minute trailer showcases the advanced AI technology used to create an ultra-realistic portrayal of the controversial leader. Viewers will have the opportunity to get an up-close and personal look at some of the most intimate moments of Putin’s life.
According to director Patryk Vega, the decision to use AI technology was made due to the limitations of inviting Putin for filming and the lack of high-resolution deepfake models available online. After two years of development, the team at AIO Studios successfully created their pioneering AI-driven technology to bring Putin to the big screen.
Filmed over three years in various locations, including the Russian Federation, Ukraine, Israel, Syria, Jordan, and Poland, the film’s timeliness is one of its most significant aspects. The narrative even shifts to present-day, providing insights into the internal mechanisms of Russian politics and their influence on the 2024 presidential elections. To ensure authenticity, Vega collaborated with Ukrainian cinematographers who captured real events such as city bombardments and soldiers’ combat.
“Putin” is not just a film, but a response to the global quest to understand the motives and actions of one of the most controversial figures in contemporary politics. According to Vega, the film’s mission is to provide viewers with a “user manual” for Putin, aiming to alleviate the fear and uncertainty that dominate today’s world.
The feature film, written and directed by Patryk Vega, is a psychological thriller and biopic that also features a talented cast, including Slawomir Sobala, Thomas Kretschmann, and Maksymilian Zielinski. The script consultant for the film is Kevin Bernhardt, and Nancy Bishop served as the casting director.
The film’s world premiere is set for September 26, 2024, and will be distributed by Kinostar. AIO Studios, the producer of “Putin,” is handling international sales. “Putin” is a must-see for those seeking to understand the controversial leader, and it is sure to make waves in the film industry upon its release.
