Briarcliff Entertainment has dropped the much-anticipated trailer for “The Apprentice,” a film that promises to offer a provocative and electrifying look at the early life of Donald J. Trump. Directed by the critically acclaimed Ali Abbasi, known for his work on Border and Holy Spider, this film is set to stir up a maelstrom of intrigue, controversy, and, inevitably, conversation.
The film features a powerhouse cast including Sebastian Stan, Jeremy Strong, Maria Bakalova, and Martin Donovan. Sebastian Stan takes on the role of Donald Trump, while Jeremy Strong portrays Roy Cohn, the infamous lawyer known for his ruthless tactics and tight-knit relationship with Trump. Maria Bakalova stars as Ivana Trump, bringing depth and nuance to the role of Trump’s first wife. The ensemble is rounded out by Martin Donovan, whose role is yet to be detailed but is anticipated to add further complexity to the narrative.
The screenplay, crafted by Gabriel Sherman and inspired by the novel Trump: The Art of the Deal, delves into the origins of Donald Trump and his formative years under the mentorship of Cohn. The film aims to explore the intersection of ambition, power, and the morally ambiguous strategies employed by Trump and his mentor. Abbasi’s direction promises a unique blend of dark humor and dramatic intensity, adding a fresh perspective to this high-stakes narrative.
The trailer introduces audiences to a gripping, darkly funny portrayal of Trump’s rise to power. With Abbasi’s distinct directorial style, the film is expected to offer a bold and unapologetic look at the intricacies of Trump’s early career and the controversial figures who influenced his path. The depiction of Roy Cohn as a manipulative and morally compromised figure juxtaposed with Trump’s burgeoning ambitions promises to highlight the underlying themes of greed and the pursuit of power.
With its release date set for October 11, 2024, “The Apprentice” is poised to make waves upon its debut. The combination of Abbasi’s visionary direction, a stellar cast, and a screenplay based on a high-profile source material suggests a film that will be both thought-provoking and intensely dramatic.
