The movie, 'The Apprentice', which follows Donald Trump's career in the 1970s and 1980s and his relationship with attorney Roy Cohn, has been met with criticism from the former president himself. Trump has called the film a 'fake' and 'classless' hatchet job, aimed at harming his political movement.
The movie, which shares the title with Trump's former NBC reality TV series, follows Trump's career as a New York City businessman in the 1970s and 1980s and his relationship with attorney Roy Cohn. Trump lashed out on the movie in October after the movie's theatrical premiere, calling the people behind it 'human scum.
' 'A FAKE and CLASSLESS Movie written about me, called, ‘The Apprentice’ (Do they even have the right to use that name without approval?), will hopefully ‘bomb,'” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “It’s a cheap, defamatory, and politically disgusting hatchet job, put out right before the 2024 Presidential Election, to try and hurt the Greatest Political Movement in the History of our Country, ‘MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!' “So sad that HUMAN SCUM, like the people involved in this hopefully unsuccessful enterprise, are allowed to say and do whatever they want in order to hurt a Political Movement, which is far bigger than any of us,” he continued. The Trump campaign’s chief spokesperson, threatened legal action last May over the movie after it premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, but the film was released in the U.S. on Oct. 11. Director, Stan said he was shunned by some in Hollywood because of the movie. He was notably omitted from Variety's'Actors on Actors' series, which pairs actors in one-on-one discussions for awards season, in November. “And it doesn’t matter, that’s OK. It’s not to point a finger at anybody — I’ve got to do a lot of great things.” Along with Stan's Best Actor nod, fellow 'The Apprentice' star Jeremy Strong received a Best Supporting Actor nomination for his portrayal of Cohn, this awards season — but for a different movie. The 42-year-old was named the Best Actor in a Motion Picture — Musical or Comedy for his role in 'A Different Man.
