Trump film 'The Apprentice' finds distributor and will open before the election

After struggling to drum up interest following its Cannes Film Festival premiere, “The Apprentice,” starring Sebastian Stan as a young Donald Trump, has found a distributor that plans to release the film shortly before the election in November. Briarcliff Entertainment will launch “The Apprentice” in theaters on Oct. 11. A spokesperson for the Trump campaign on Friday called the film's release “election interference by Hollywood elites.” “The Apprentice” chronicles Trump’s rise to power in New York real estate under the tutelage of defense attorney Roy Cohn.
