AceShowbiz - "The Apprentice", the highly anticipated biopic of Donald Trump's early years, has released its first trailer, providing a glimpse into the pivotal influence of his mentor, Roy Cohn. The film stars Sebastian Stan as a young Trump and Jeremy Strong as Cohn, the notorious attorney who became Trump's guide to the ruthless world of New York City real estate.

The trailer opens with an unknown Trump visiting Cohn's home for the first time. Cohn lays out the principles of his winning strategy, "attack, attack, attack," "admit nothing, deny everything," and "never admit defeat." Trump's willingness to do whatever it takes to win aligns perfectly with Cohn's teachings.

The trailer also hints at Trump's first marriage and his early aspirations for the presidency. It includes infamous lines such as Cohn's warning that "you have to be willing to do anything to anyone to win" and his humorous observations about Trump's appearance.

Despite initial setbacks, James Shani led a group that bought out conservative investor Dan Snyder's stake, paving the way for "The Apprentice" to secure a domestic theatrical release through Briarcliff Entertainment.

The film has faced criticism and a cease-and-desist letter from Trump's lawyers, who refute its portrayal as "pure malicious defamation." However, the producers maintain its integrity as a "fair and balanced portrayal."

"The Apprentice" premieres in select U.S. theaters on October 11, highlighting the contentious relationship that shaped the future trajectory of one of America's most polarizing figures.
