See the short (one minute) trailer for “The Apprentice,”a biopic from director Ali Abbasi coming to theaters Oct. 11.
In the clip, Roy Cohn (played by Jeremy Strong) coaches Trump (played by Sebastian Stan) as he talks to a reporter on the phone.
“I intend to acquire the Commodore, and I’m planning on making it the best and the finest building in the city, maybe the country — in the world … it’s going to be the finest building in the world,” Stan says, thankfully not trying to copy Trump’s bombastic voice.
When “The Apprentice” premiered at Cannes, most distributors didn’t want to touch it, but a small company called Briarcliff Entertainment finally bought it.
Meanwhile, the Trump campaign threatened legal action over the movie, saying in a statement, “This garbage is pure fiction which sensationalizes lies that have been long debunked.”
