Briarcliff Entertainment’s official The Apprentice trailer shows attorney Roy Cohn delivering advice that a young Trump took to heart and lives by to this day. Cohn tells his protege there are three rules he needs to abide by. Number one: attack, attack, attack. Number two: admit nothing and deny everything. And rule number three: no matter what happens, you claim victory and never admit defeat.
No wonder Trump and his team are so upset about the film’s pre-election day release date.
Sebastian Stan stars as Donald Trump and Succession‘s Jeremy Strong plays Roy Cohn. The cast also includes Maria Bakalova and Martin Donovan.
“A young Donald Trump (Stan), eager to make his name as a hungry second son of a wealthy family in 1970s New York, comes under the spell of Roy Cohn (Strong), the cutthroat attorney who would help create the Donald Trump we know today,” reads Briarcliff Entertainment’s synopsis. “Cohn sees in Trump the perfect protégé—someone with raw ambition, a hunger for success, and a willingness to do whatever it takes to win.”
Ali Abbasi directed and Gabriel Sherman wrote the screenplay.
Although the film will be released on October 11, 2024, Abbasi launched a Kickstarter campaign on September 3rd to get it into more theaters. The campaign set a $100,000 goal and just one week after its launch, it had received $301,826 in pledges. The campaign has since raised its goal to $350,000.
“We passed our first goal in under 12 hours, but we’ve only just begun! We’re in the game now and we need your help. The more support we receive, the longer The Apprentice stays in theatres, and the more people get to see the movie Trump tried to block. We’re hearing from our early supporters that they signed up because they are excited to be part of our movement,” reads the campaign’s description.
