The first-look image of Sebastian Stan as a young, pre-TV star and pre-president Donald Trump in the upcoming biopic “The Apprentice” has been revealed.
Ali Abbasi’s feature is set to be a part of the 2024 Cannes main competition and delves into Trump’s rise to power through a “Faustian deal” with Roy Cohn, portrayed by Jeremy Strong.
The controversial film, likely to stir debate, also features Maria Bakalova as Ivana Trump and Martin Donovan as Fred Trump Sr.
Producers include Daniel Bekerman, Jacob Jarek, Ruth Treacy, Julianne Forde, and others. Executive producers are part of an esteemed list.
“The Apprentice” is among the movies competing for the Palme d’Or at Cannes, alongside other highly anticipated titles like Francis Ford Coppola’s “Metropolis” and Yorgos Lanthimos’ “Kinds of Kindness.”
Exciting entries like Paul Schrader’s “Oh Canada,” Jacques Audiard’s “Emilia Perez,” Paolo Sorrentino’s “Parthenope,” and David Cronenberg’s “The Shrouds” promise a diverse and engaging cinematic experience for viewers.
