TLDR:
* Jude Law plays controversial Russian President Vladimir Putin in the upcoming political thriller *The Wizard of the Kremlin*, which marked its world premiere at the 82nd [Venice International Film Festival](https://people.com/venice-film-festival/) on Sunday, Aug. 31. At a press conference for the film alongside director Olivier Assayas and his costars, he said that playing Putin did not scare him.
* “I hope not naively, but I didn’t fear repercussions. I felt confident, in the hands of Olivier and the script, that this story was going to be told intelligently and with nuance and consideration,” Law said. “We weren’t looking for controversy for controversy’s sake. It’s a character in a broader story. We weren’t trying to define anything about anyone.“
* Law [confirmed his casting](https://people.com/jude-law-playing-vladimir-putin-movie-wizard-of-the-kremlin-8772768) in January in an interview with Deadline. Per the outlet, *The Wizard of the Kremlin* will see Law in a supporting role and follow Putin „at the beginning of his governing career.“
If the film about Putin wasn’t *looking for controversy”*, then what’s the point of it?
Too good looking for Putin.
