Add to that the fact that the movie was all set to hit the theatres in the year the US goes to election. Trump’s camp was in no mood to go easy on the movie directed by Ali Abbasi. But a recent development suggests that the Sebastian Stan starrer might have a chance still.

While the movie has not delved into Donald Trump’s political journey, it chronicles his rise to fame as the successor to his father’s business empire. It also delves into the 45th POTUS’s relationship with Roy Cohn, a lawyer and political fixer he would go on to befriend.

No wonder the film ran into a thicket of controversy, just like the person it revolves around. Donald Trump’s legal team was not found lacking, as it didn’t take them long to sue the filmmakers for defamation.

The update has provided some much-needed succor for the fans and, more importantly, the cast and crew ofThe Apprentice, as the movie can now move forward with its 11th October release date.
The Apprenticedelivers the goods, but lacks the punch
Director Ali Abbasi and co. would be heaving a sigh of relief it, as a legal battle could have cast a shadow overThe Apprentice‘s prospects back home. The movie has already premiered at the 77th Cannes Film Festival, with largely positive reviews.
An aspect of the film that has been praised by everyone round the board is the casting choices. While not many could have anticipated how Sebastian Stan as Trump would turn out to be, it will be safe to say that he was able to do justice to the role. Jeremy Strong’s Roy Cohn was right on the money.

An aspect of the movie that has drawn many fans’ ire is how it was half-a**ed. The movie does tell you how Trump grew up to be the man he was. But what was found lacking was the answer to why he went down that road?
While the movie is not without its detractors, it still remains one of the hottest biopics in recent years, chronicling the life of a man who has already made his mark felt on the history of America.
