Briarcliff Entertainment has released a new clip from The Apprentice, an upcoming biopic about a young Donald Trump.
The video features Sebastian Stan as Trump and Jeremy Strong as Roy Cohn. While sitting in the backseat of a car, Trump partakes in a phone interview while Cohn advises him on what to say.

Who is Involved in The Apprentice?
The official synopsis reads: “1970s New York. Determined to emerge from his powerful father’s shadow and make a name for himself in Manhattan real estate, aspiring mogul Donald J. Trump is in the earliest days of his career when he encounters the man who will become one of the most important figures in his life, political fixer Roy Cohn. Seeing promise in young Donald, the influential attorney — who secured espionage convictions against Julius and Ethel Rosenberg and investigated suspected Communists alongside Senator Joseph McCarthy — teaches his new acolyte how to amass wealth and power through deception, intimidation and media manipulation. The rest is history.”
Besides Stan and Strong, The Apprentice features Maria Bakalova as Ivana Trump, Donald’s wife from 1977 to 1990. Martin Donovan, Ben Sullivan, Charlie Carrick, Mark Rendall, and Joe Pingue round out the ensemble.
Ali Abbasi directs The Apprentice on a script from Gabriel Sherman. Producers include Daniel Bekerman, Jacob Jarek, Julianne Forde, Ruth Treacy, and Louis Tisné.
The Apprentice premiered at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival. The controversial film struggled to gain distribution from a major studio. Briarcliff Entertainment eventually acquired the U.S. distribution rights. Trump’s team has sent a cease & desist to the filmmakers and has threatened more legal action.
The Apprentice opens in theaters on October 11, 2024.
