Flávio Bolsonaro published this Sunday (7/12) the first images of actor Jim Caviezel in the role of Jair Bolsonaro for the film Dark Horse. The North American production aims to depict the trajectory of the former president, arrested and convicted of attempted coup d’état, and its premiere is scheduled for 2026.
Caviezel, known worldwide for playing Jesus in The Passion of the Christ (2004), will play the former Brazilian president. The production will be handled by filmmaker Cyrus Nowrasteh, who built his career with productions with strong religious and political appeal, which partly explains the interest in the story.
