First clip released for unauthorized Trump biopic ‘The Apprentice’

Days after its official theatrical release date was announced, a first look at the bombshell Donald Trump biopic has dropped.

California-based independent distributor Briarcliff Entertainment unveiled the clip from “The Apprentice” on Tuesday. In the scene, “Succession” star Jeremy Strong, as Trump’s early mentor Roy Cohn, coaches Sebastian Stan’s young Trump in the back of a chauffeur-driven Rolls Royce while on the phone with a journalist.

“About a hundred reporters were crawling up my ass to get this interview and I gave you the exclusive,” Cohn says on the phone before handing it over to Trump.

After the reporter asks the New York City real estate mogul what he plans on doing now that he’s settled a racial discrimination lawsuit, Trump responds: “Well, I intend to acquire the Commodore [Hotel].”

“I’m planning on making it the best and the finest building in the city — maybe the country,” he adds, before Cohn redirects him to go bigger. “It’s gonna be the finest building in the world; it’s gonna be a spectacular hotel, absolutely spectacular, first class.”

Directed by Ali Abbasi, “The Apprentice” — which is set in New York City during the 1970s and ’80s — premiered at the 77th Cannes Film Festival in May. It’s scheduled to hit movie theaters in the U.S. on Oct. 11.

Already earning a 77% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes, the controversial movie also stars Oscar nominated actress Maria Bakalova as Trump’s first wife, Ivana — who claimed in her 1990 divorce deposition that he once raped her during their marriage. That alleged incident is dramatized in the film.
