It caused a sensation at the Cannes Film Festival. “The Apprentice”, the controversial biopic on Donald Trump, will be released in cinemas in October in the United States, a month before the election, according to several American media on Friday.

According to the Los Angeles TimesBriarcliff Entertainment Studio plans to release “The Apprentice” on October 11. When asked, the studio has not yet responded. On November 5, Donald Trump, the Republican candidate, must face Democrat Kamala Harris in an election that promises to be close.

An uncredited biopic by Dano-Iranian Ali Abbasi, “The Apprentice” marked the Cannes Film Festival when it was presented there in May. The film depicts the billionaire’s young years. First shown as an unscrupulous professional, Donald Trump (played by Sebastian Stan, known for his role in “Captain America”) deviates from his principles as he discovers the tricks of power alongside his mentor, lawyer Roy Cohn (Jeremy Strong of “Success”), closely associated with McCarthyism and the New York mafia.

A rape scene

In one episode, Donald Trump sexually assaulted his first wife, Ivana. He is also seen taking amphetamine pills or undergoing liposuction and surgery to treat his hair loss. In real life, Ivana accused Donald Trump of rape during their divorce proceedings, before withdrawing her accusations. He died in 2022. What did not please the first person who was interested, whose group has promised to sue the producers of the film, who specifically oppose the “completely disgusting damage”.

The screenplay for “The Apprentice” is by Gabriel Sherman, a journalist who follows the real estate market of New York and talks regularly with Donald Trump at this time. In an interview, lead actor Sebastian Stan said that the billionaire “is closer than we care to admit.”

This is not the only biopic dedicated to the former president to be released in theaters: “Reagan”, which recreates the life of Republican President Ronald Reagan, was released in American theaters on Friday.
