Ali Agassi’s The Apprentice, a sturdy, HE-approved drama about Roy Cohn’s mentoring of the young Donald Trump in the ‘70s and early ‘80s, Briarcliff’s Tom Ortenberg, a man among men, has finally locked in a theatrical release date — Friday, 10.11.
The film, which is critical of Trump but not a rabid, foam-at-the-mouth takedown, will have four weekends of play before the 11.5 Presidential election day.
Not that it’s likely to change anyone’s mind as far as the Trump-Harris battle is concerned, but at least the film will enjoy a full month’s worth of commercial relevancy, and it will always be a well-crafted character drama that features excellent performances by Sebastian Stan (Trump) and Jeremy Strong (Cohn).
The Apprentice will screen in Telluride this evening at the Galaxy (10 pm).
