of the leading heart-throbs of the silver screen,

Law has said he was unfazed by the
prospect of playing Vladimir Putin and

Speaking at a press conference before
the film’s premiere at the Venice film
festival on Sunday, the Bafta-winning actor

Olivier [the director] and the script, that
this story was going to be told intelligently
and with nuance and consideration.

“We weren’t looking for controversy
for controversy’s sake.
It’s a character within a much broader story.
We weren’t trying to define
anything about anyone.”]
