Sebastian Stan is about to give us a version of Donald Trump like we’ve never seen before — and honestly, who asked for this? The Apprentice (no, not the reality show, but don’t worry, it’ll be just as bonkers) is hitting theaters on October 11, brought to you by the directorial wizardry of Ali Abbasi.
Let me hit you with the plot: Picture a young Donald Trump (played by Stan, who somehow went from the Winter Soldier to this… acting is wild). It’s the 1970s, baby! Disco’s hot, hair is big, and Donald is…well, he’s hungry. Not for burgers, but for power, fame, and any opportunity to slap his name on a building. Enter Roy Cohn (Jeremy Strong), a lawyer so cutthroat he probably shaves with a chainsaw. Cohn takes one look at young Donny and thinks, “Hey, here’s a guy with enough ambition to fill a skyscraper — and the moral compass of a broken GPS. Perfect!” What follows is a bromance for the ages, where ambition meets questionable ethics, and somehow we end up with… well, you know how the story goes.
Oh, and let’s not forget the supporting cast: Maria Bakalova as Ivana Trump, the woman who had to put up with all this madness, and Martin Donovan as Fred Trump, who I’m assuming spends the movie shaking his head like, “This is my son. This is my legacy. Fantastic.”
In other news, Trump’s real-life courtroom drama? Yeah, the sentencing’s been postponed until after the election. Because apparently, there’s nothing more suspenseful than keeping the American public on the edge of their seats, wondering if the former president will be wearing an orange jumpsuit to match his complexion.
So, are you ready to see Sebastian Stan as a power-hungry, disco-era Trump? Watch the trailer, because this movie might just be the best hairpiece Stan’s ever worn.
