The trailer of the movie about Donald Trump, which has been called a "vicious slander", has been released: what the US presidential candidate didn't like about it

The first trailer of the movie "The Apprentice" about US presidential candidate Donald Trump was shown online . The exclusive premiere of the film took place in May 2024 at the Cannes Film Festival.

"The Apprentice" tells about the development of Donald Trump's career in New York real estate and his relationship with political broker Roy Cohn. Interestingly, the tape will be released on American screens on October 11 - at the final stage of the presidential election, a source familiar with the terms of the agreement told NBC. Sebastian Stan played the role of Trump, while Jeremy Strong played Cohn, one of the former president's mentors.

At the 77th Cannes Film Festival, "The Apprentice" immediately became a sociopolitical lightning rod. In a statement at the time, Trump campaign spokesman Stephen Cheung called the movie "pure malicious slander." "We will file a lawsuit in court to refute the blatantly false claims of these pseudo-filmmakers," Cheung said. - This is garbage - pure fiction that sensationalizes a lie that has long been debunked." However, it is still unknown whether the campaign has filed a lawsuit in court.

The movie sparked controversy in part because it depicts a dramatic scene of an alleged incident in which Trump sexually assaulted his first wife. Ivanka Trump claimed in a deposition during her divorce in 1990 that her ex-husband raped her. He denied the accusation, and she later said she did not speak literally, but rather felt it was not her doing. She passed away in 2022.

"The Apprentice" was directed by Iranian-Danish filmmaker Ali Abbasi from a script by Vanity Fair journalist Gabriel Sherman, who spent more than a decade covering Trump and his political allies. Cohn died of AIDS-related complications in 1986, though he denied he was HIV-positive. He was 59 years old.
