The biopic 'The Apprentice,' directed by Ali Abbasi and focusing on Donald Trump's years as a New York real estate mogul, is nearing a U.S. distribution deal with Briarcliff Entertainment. The film, which stars Sebastian Stan and Jeremy Strong, made a notable debut at Cannes. Dan Snyder, former NFL owner and Trump backer, funded the production through his company Kinematics, which is expected to be bought out of the film for a premium on top of its $5 million investment. The U.S. distribution had been stalled for over a month, but the impending deal with Briarcliff may pave the way for its release this fall. The film also covers Trump's relationship with Roy Cohn.
