The Apprentice starring Sebastian Stan is already a hot button project, and it has barely started filming. Variety gave us one of the first images to emerge from this this biopic. It shows Stan as a young Trump with his lawyer Roy Cohen played by Jeremy Strong. This is what they had to say about the film:
Ali Abbasi’s feature — which has just been announced as part of the 2024 Cannes main competition — charts Trump’s ascent to power through what is described as a “Faustian deal” with the influential right-wing lawyer and political fixer Roy Cohn (seen in the still being portrayed by Jeremy Strong). As the synopsis reads, “‘The Apprentice’ is a dive into the underbelly of the American empire.
The film also stars Maria Bakalova as Ivana Trump. There is going to be interest in this film when it is released. Good or bad, this is going to stir the pot. Whatever the outcome is, this is going to garner a lot of interest. Regardless, Stan appears to embody the essence of Trump. Check out the photo and let us know what you think.
