This feature film about Donald Trump in his youth, based on a screenplay written by Gabe Sherman and directed by Ali Abbasi, has already sparked numerous comments in the American political environment. In addition to Sebastian Stan, who plays Donald Trump in his youth, it also stars Maria Bakalova, who plays Ivana Trump, and Martin Donovan, who plays Fred Trump Sr.
The film premiered in May at the Cannes Film Festival, and Sebastian Stan was unanimously praised for his role. It must be said that Sebastian Stan, the Romanian Hollywood star, received the prestigious Silver Bear award at the Berlin International Film Festival in February 2024 for his memorable lead role in the movie “A Different Man”.
As British journalists from Daily Mail write, the movie “The Apprentice” will premiere in cinemas around the world on October 11.
“Due to the sensitive subject matter, many distribution houses refused to take the film. Eventually, Briarcliff Entertainment agreed to distribute the film. Trump’s campaign vehemently opposed distribution of the film, and his spokesman called the film “pure fiction”specify the journalists from Daily Mail.
“The Apprentice” includes several controversial scenes, leading to the one in which Donald Trump (played by Sebastian Stan) rapes Ivana Trump (played by Maria Bakalova). In Ivana Trump’s 1990 divorce filing, she wrote that Trump raped her. Donald Trump later denied the allegations, and Ivana Trump said years later that she didn’t mean literally that she was raped, but that she felt raped.
