The Wizard of the Kremlin (Le Mage du Kremlin, dir. Olivier Assayas) x TIFF 2025.

Jude Law and Paul Dano star in a fictionalized, English-language political satire of post-Soviet Russian power as a young Vladimir Putin (aka the "tsar") and his kingmaker operative, inspired by the actual titular "wizard," Vladislav Surkov. It aims to retell three decades of empirical history as an extended monologue, drawing on French-Italian essayist Giuliano da Empoli's 2022 debut novel of the same name. There's just something amiss about the westernized telling of Putin's rise to power in the 1990s. Dano's Vadim Baranov greatly understands the inner workings of a totalitarian propaganda state, but the sprawling explanation of the birth of the Russian Federation remains cryptically simple in execution.

Screened at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival as part of the Special Presentations program.

And another possible piece of news today about "Rings of Power' season 2 as Tom Taylor from "House of the Dragon" has been listed in a post by his agency about the show coming back along with their other clients that are in the show like Charlie Vickers, Maxim Baldry, Daniel Weyman, Calam Lynch, and Will Keen. One of his fan accounts first spotted this post back in June but now the other ROP fan sites have found this as well. We'll have to wait and see if this is true as he wasn't listed in the recurring cast announced but he could still be a guest star. I've already got a couple ideas based on the spoilers and leaks we've gotten who he could be.
