Trump the movie: The Apprentice film headed to Cannes Film Festival

Described as “an exploration of power and ambition set in a world of corruption and deceit,” the film also stars Emmy Award-winning Succession star Jeremy Strong portraying New York City lawyer and right-wing political power broker Roy Cohn, who served as Trump’s mentor before he died in 1986.

In a recent interview, the in-demand actor – currently starring in Broadway’s Enemy of the People – described the role as his “most fascinating” to date.

“Roy Cohn, you can’t overstate his influence in our country, his legacy of the denial of reality and certain things that he imparted to Donald Trump,” he told The New York Times newspaper last month. “His playbook has a tentacular reach that is staggering – the most fascinating person I’ve ever tried to inhabit.”

“I should say a disclaimer: my job is to be a humanistic investigator of a subject and to withhold judgment,” Strong added. “So while I personally might have a lot of judgment about Roy Cohn, that is not the part of me that engages in the creative work.”

Maria Bakalova, who earned an Academy Award nomination for 2020’s Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, stars as Trump’s first wife, Ivana. Weeds star Martin Donovan portrays his father, Fred Trump Snr.

An exact US release date for The Apprentice has not been announced.
