Yes, another lawsuit has been threatened. You’d wonder who keeps track of them all. Right now it’s ‘cease and desist’. But what’s the point of blocking a film ONLY in the US? There is this thing called the World Wide Web.
This time, Trump’s people are raving (at, not about) the new Trump biopic “The Apprentice” which has just been screened at the Cannes Film Festival. (No, there are no torrents yet, just to save you a little time.)
The film which depicts the former US president raping his first wife, shocked audiences at its world premiere at the Cannes film festival.
Trump spokesperson Stephen Cheung vowed “to address the blatantly false assertions from these pretend film-makers”.
“This garbage is pure fiction which sensationalises lies that have been long debunked,” Cheung told Variety on Monday. “This ‘film’ is pure malicious defamation, should not see the light of day, and doesn’t even deserve a place in the straight-to-DVD section of a bargain bin at a soon-to-be-closed discount movie store. It belongs in a dumpster fire.”
The Apprentice stars Sebastian Stan as the young heir and Jeremy Strong as mentor Roy Cohn.
According to SLATE, it shows Trump stiffing contractors, scarfing down amphetamines, and raping his wife, Ivana (Borat 2’s Maria Bakalova), when she dares to suggest he could stand to familiarize himself with female anatomy. But while Variety labeled the movie “brutal,” that’s also a word that the film’s Trump and its Cohn, played by Jeremy Strong, frequently apply to themselves, a term that’s been brandished by his critics and embraced by his admirers.
I urge you to check out the most complete article I found, the Slate piece (linked above). It’s quite a read.
