Cannes Film Festival announced their lineup for their films today and we are excited to talk about some of our most anticipated titles. We’re starting off with The Apprentice which comes from director Ali Abbasi starring Sebastian Stan and Jeremy Strong.

The Apprentice will examine Trump’s efforts to build his real estate business in New York in the ’70s and ’80s, also digging into his relationship with infamous attorney Cohn. It’s a mentor-protege story that charts the origins of a major American dynasty. Filled with larger-than-life characters, it will reveal the moral and human cost of a culture defined by winners and losers.

Maria Bakalova is starring as Ivana Trump and Martin Donovan is Fred Trump in the movie. Gabriel Sherman is screenwriter. Producers are Daniel Bekerman for Scythia Films (Canada), Jacob Jarek for Profile Pictures (Denmark), Ruth Treacy and Julianne Forde for Tailored Films (Ireland), alongside Abbasi and Louis Tisne for Film Institute (Denmark). EPs are Amy Baer, Mark H. Rapaport, Emanuel Nunez, Josh Marks, Grant S. Johnson, Phil Hunt and Compton Ross, Thorsten Schumacher, Niamh Fagan, Gabe Sherman, Lee Broda and James Shani.
