The film ‘The Apprentice’, focusing on Donald Trump’s early years, has secured a distributor and is set for release in the US and Canada just before the November election. The film, starring Sebastian Stan as the former president, faced challenges after its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival. Director Ali Abbasi has been determined to get the film into theaters before the election, aiming to spark conversation about Trump’s past. Despite initial hesitation from major studios, Briarcliff Entertainment has stepped in to distribute the film, marking its release on October 11th. ‘The Apprentice’ explores Trump’s early career in New York real estate under the guidance of attorney Roy Cohn, portrayed by Jeremy Strong. The film also includes a controversial depiction of Trump’s alleged rape of his first wife, Ivana Trump, as detailed in her 1990 divorce deposition. While Trump has denied the allegation, the film’s portrayal has sparked debate and potential legal action. The film’s release coincides with the US election, potentially adding fuel to the political fire and prompting further discussions about Trump’s legacy.
