"Clearly, the film has the approval of people close to Bolsonaro, who is currently serving a 27-year sentence for trying to overturn the results of a democratic election by storming the capital. (That sort of thing has consequences in Brazil.) Nevertheless, The Dark Horse is described as a "heroic" version of his story, which may or may not include the plot to assassinate his left-wing rival Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva that was foiled when the armed forces failed to join the attempted coup."
"Dubbed "the true story of a real hero who survived," the first look depicts one of Bolsonaro's many hospital stays since his first presidential campaign in 2018. Based on the content of the trailer, it appears to be on the stay connected to his 2018 stabbing rather than one of the many related to COVID or myriad other maladies Bolsonaro has suffered over the years."
Jim Caviezel will portray Jair Bolsonaro in The Dark Horse, a film that began filming three months ago and was written by Bolsonaro's former culture secretary Mário Frias. Photos of Caviezel in costume were shared by Frias and the project has been confirmed by Bolsonaro's son. The film is described as a heroic version of Bolsonaro's story while Bolsonaro serves a 27-year sentence for attempting to overturn a democratic election by storming the capital. The first look depicts a hospital stay linked to Bolsonaro's 2018 stabbing and the trailer uses a slowed cover of Destiny's Child's "Survivor." Caviezel will also play a CGI de-aged Jesus in The Passion Of The Christ sequel.
