A film about Vladimir Putin has been made using artificial intelligence.

Titled “Putin,” the film, which combines advanced technology with traditional filmmaking, has been a long time coming. As the U.K.’s Telegraph reported, Polish director Patryk Vega hired actor Slawomir Sobala to study Putin’s body language, gait, and mannerisms for two years, then used artificial intelligence to superimpose the Russian leader’s face onto Sobala’s, resulting in the final production.

“The audience needed to see the real Putin on screen,” Vega has said. “They see him every day in the media. Even the best actor with great make-up wouldn’t convincingly portray a figure everyone in the world knows so well. Inviting Putin to the studio for 20,000 shots wasn’t an option, and achieving the highest resolution detail is impossible without having a physical human model to photograph in a studio. Without this real-world reference, AI simply cannot replicate the level of precision we’ve accomplished.”
