First Trailer Released From Coming Trump Biopic

Deadline Hollywood reports:

Filmmaker Ali Abbasi, director of controversial movie The Apprentice, initially appeared a tad nervous as he stepped onto the stage of the Galaxy Theater in Telluride on Saturday night for the U.S. premiere of his feature that was a hit at this year’s Cannes Film Festival.

Abbasi noted that “I have allowed myself as a non-American to take a deep look into this country and system,” and ”some characters,” he said pointedly without naming Trump.

He joked, “We had a special guest. We had reserved three seats there for him and his bodyguards, we’re still waiting. He might arrive in the dark, you never know.”
