WATCH the utterly bizarre trailer for an AI Putin biopic that the Russian dictator doesn’t want you to see.

Polish director Patryk Vega has teased a freaky full-length feature film about Putin using AI-hybrid methods to impose his face over another actor’s body.

Polish actor Slawomir Sobala apparently spent two years studying “Putin’s body language, his gait, and his way of entering a room,” in order to nail the part.

And the film has caught the attention of Kremlin spies who don’t want it going out to the world – and you can see why.

One scene shows the all-powerful leader quivering in the foetal position – in his pants.

In another, he brandishes two strings of toilet roll to the adoring squeals of a room full of Russian aristocracy.

Exactly how much of the film’s plot is true is unclear, but Vega said: “The audience needed to see the real Putin on screen.”

The trailer opens with a classic bullied-child-grows-icily-determined sequence, with Putin’s mother introducing him to a group of kids before he receives a firm headbutt to the face.

“It’s better to die standing than live on your knees,” his assailant tells him.

The film then flashes through various stages of Putin’s life: his judo endeavours, work as a cabbie, and romantic meeting with his fiance (he grabs hold of the woman and declares: “She’s my new wife.”). 

Other freaky scenes are left notably unexplained, such as the line of 20 women dressed as playboy bunnies made to run from thugs with guns through a snowy forest

This is “The real life story that defies reality,” viewers are told.

We are invited to “Enter the mind of the most dangerous man on earth.”

Putin was played by Polish actor Slawomir Sobala

Director Vega said: “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.”

Vega’s other films include the gangster film Pitbull and the serial killer flick The Plagues of Breslau.

Neither are particularly sophisticated, but rather revel in violence and vulgarity.

Critics expect a similar flippancy from this odd biopic – in cinemas on January 25.
