The information laid down on a well-prepared soil. The film “Survivor” for which DiCaprio will likely still get an Academy Award, has become, according to “Interfax”, the most mentioned in the local media in January, far ahead of the nearest competitors. In addition, the actor in the January interview with German weekly Welt am Sonntag said that the play of Putin would have him very interesting.

But Saharian denied involvement DiCaprio

But we told him it was not offered “, – said Kramer in an interview with Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty. He added that the participation in this project, DiCaprio has learned from the media.

The Wrap portal notes that the two “Oscars “there are, for example, Steven Spielberg and Ang Lee, but the most suitable candidate calls Oliver Stone, who is engaged in the political film projects last several years. After the blockbuster 2012 “particularly dangerous”, he made a documentary series “The untold story of the United States”, and this year plans to release the biopic “Snowden».

True, the “Oscars” at the Stone’s three – in addition to directing, he received two another for adapted screenplay for the drama “Midnight express».

The president does not know

«Putin’s” creators with the Russian president did not communicate and notify him of his project did not set. Saharian said that this art project that does not require approval. But just in case, to insure the company – its lawyers to check the script and did not find any possible causes for claims.

president’s press secretary, Dmitry Peskov, told reporters that Putin about the film is unknown.

« we also do not know whether DiCaprio expressed [desire] to play the role of Putin, if there is a role, because, frankly, we have not seen anywhere any statements DiCaprio “- quoted Peskov RIA« News »

. At the request of “Gazety.Ru” situation with the shooting of the film about the current policy said the chairman of the Bar “Starinskiy, pots and partners” Eugene pots. “In accordance with the Resolution of the Plenum of the RF Armed Forces on June 23, 2015 №25 clarified the provisions of Article 152.1 of the Civil Code, which establishes the normative regulation of citizens’ image – he said. – In accordance with this explanation, without the consent of the citizen’s disclosure and use of his image is acceptable, when a citizen is a public figure (take a state or municipal office, plays a significant role in public life, in politics, economy, arts, sports, or other field).

The first Putin on the screen

It should be noted that “Putin said. “- if he will still be removed – will be the first feature film, in which the image of the Russian president not masked or not a collective

So it was, for instance, in a picture of Olga Zhulin” Kiss not for the press “: the hero. film, on a plateau family, grew up in Leningrad, graduated from law school, he worked in the Soviet-German friendship, engaged in Sambo, and eventually became president. “Kiss …” was filmed in 2002, but the rental was never released, leading actor Andrei Panin believed that the film “is not very turned out.” Six years later, he was released on DVD.

Russian President, like Putin, appeared in the American TV series “House of Cards».

But most of all the heads of Russia – in the documentary film. In 2007, Frenchman Jean-Michel Carré issued the “Putin system» ( «Le Système Poutine»), in the “Bi-bi-si-2″ 2012, the channel showed a four-part film “Putin, Russia and the West» ( «Putin, Russia and the West »).

In 2007, Nikita Mikhalkov made a film” 55 “, timed to coincide with the anniversary of the president. And last year, the Russian journalist Vladimir Solovyov based on interviews made the film “The President”, which was shown on the channel “Russia 1″ in April 2014 – it looked 39% of Moscow viewers over the age of 18
