Trump film 'The Apprentice' set for US premiere Saturday, Trump team calls it election interference

A movie about GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump is now scheduled to hit American theaters in October, just one month before the 2024 election. 

The film is titled "The Apprentice" and it stars Sebastian Stan as a young Donald Trump.

According to Deadline, the film will debut tonight at 10 p.m. at the Telluride Film Festival in Colorado, but won't hit theaters until Oct. 11. It was already shown earlier this year at the Cannes Film Festival.

The film portrays Trump as a powerful businessman who “falls under the sway of the demonic lawyer and power broker Roy Cohn," according to the film's description.

There is also a scene in the movie showing Trump raping his first wife, Ivana Trump, who is played by Maria Bakalova.

The former president had threatened to file a lawsuit against the film “to address the blatantly false assertions from these pretend filmmakers," according to The Associated Press.

“This ‘film’ is pure malicious defamation, should never see the light of day, and doesn’t even deserve a place in the straight-to-DVD section of a bargain bin at a soon-to-be-closed discount movie store, it belongs in a dumpster fire,” Trump communications director Steven Cheung told The Hill.

Cheung called the film’s release “election interference by Hollywood elites right before November.”
