“PUTIN” ~ Released in Theaters January 2025

By Mango Sorbet - December 22, 2024

“PUTIN” is scheduled to be released in theaters in January 2025.

“Power is not given, it is taken. And once taken, it must be held with an iron grip.” (Guess who said that!)

Supposedly “PUTIN” is the real life story of Vladmir Putin, the current tyrannical dictator of Russia (as of 2024), who ensured that he won a “fair” election by any means necessary. Once he was in power he refused to LEAVE! So now even though the citizens won’t say it out loud, likely for fear of being poisoned with nerve agents and ending up like Alexei Navalny or Sergei and Yulia Skripal, everybody is just waiting for him to DIE! Hey! Nobody lives forever!

NOT ON MY WATCH LIST!! But if you’re interested, …

Slawomir Sobala, the versatile actor who plays Vladimir Putin is being praised for his realistic portrayal of the Russian leader. He wholly immersed himself in the role. In addition to expert makeup and tailored costumes, he underwent a significant physical transformation. He studied Putin’s body language and tried to develop intimate and intricate aspects of the real leader’s personality to make his portrayal authentic. He was very convincing and it was a standout performance.
