A New Take on Trump’s Early Years
Sebastian Stan, the star of The Apprentice, a controversial new film about Donald Trump, has shared his thoughts on the portrayal of the former U.S. president. According to Stan, Trump should be “grateful” for the film’s “complex, three-dimensional take” on his life. The film explores Trump’s rise as a real estate mogul in New York during the 1970s and 80s, focusing on the shaping of his character and business persona.
Trump’s Response and Legal Threats
Despite Stan’s comments, Trump has expressed strong opposition to the film. He has threatened legal action against its producers, labeling The Apprentice as “fake and classless.” Trump also expressed hope that the film would fail at the box office, claiming it misrepresents his early career and character. His legal threats have added to the film’s already controversial reception.
Challenges in Finding a Distributor
The process of making and distributing The Apprentice has been fraught with difficulty. The film struggled to secure a U.S. distributor, largely due to its sensitive subject matter and the polarizing figure it portrays. The film’s director described the production and release as “the most challenging thing I’ve ever done,” underscoring the difficulties faced in bringing the story to the big screen.
Exploring Trump’s Mentor Relationship with Roy Cohn
At the core of The Apprentice is Trump’s relationship with his mentor, lawyer Roy Cohn, portrayed by Succession actor Jeremy Strong. Cohn, who played a pivotal role in shaping Trump’s philosophy, taught him key values such as never admitting defeat and using power to win at all costs. The film delves into how this mentorship influenced Trump’s approach to business and his future political career.
A Complex Portrayal of a Controversial Figure
While The Apprentice provides an in-depth look at Trump’s early career, the film’s reception has been divided. Some critics praise it for its nuanced depiction of Trump, while others find the portrayal controversial. Nonetheless, Stan’s portrayal of Trump, alongside Jeremy Strong’s performance as Roy Cohn, aims to offer a layered view of one of the most well-known figures in modern history
