The Apprentice left the Cannes Film Festival empty-handed, with no announcement of a U.S. distribution deal following former President Donald Trump’s threat of a lawsuit and cease-and-desist demand against the filmmakers.
In addition, the movie failed to win any prizes at Saturday’s closing ceremony, despite some movie pundits predicting that actor Sebastian Stan would be rewarded for his portrayal of Trump.
While a buyer could materialize in the weeks ahead, the road to U.S. distribution looks uncertain as streamers and specialty theatrical labels would have to weigh the possibility of a messy and protracted legal fight. Box-office prospects also appear dim, as audiences have largely shunned political and other big-issue movies in recent years.
The Apprentice garnered an enormous amount media attention at this year’s Cannes, particularly for its scene depicting Trump raping his first wife, Ivana. The movie also shows Trump undergoing plastic surgery and liposuction.
Ivana Trump herself has denied that her then-husband ever raped her.
Following the Cannes premiere, Trump’s campaign threatened to sue the filmmakers.
“We will be filing a lawsuit to address the blatantly false assertions from these pretend filmmakers,” the Trump campaign’s chief spokesperson Steven Cheung said in a statement. “This garbage is pure fiction which sensationalizes lies that have been long debunked.”
He also called the film “malicious defamation.”

Lawfare.
Payback is a bitch.
It lost out to “Life With Father: The Ashley Biden Story.”
Indeed.

That great news. I’m surprised thought because one report said it got an 8 minute standing ovation at its debut sowing or whatever it was. Perhaps that report was pure BS. Certainly wouldn’t surprise me.
Payback is Hillary.
Elitists just know something we plebes don't
BJ Clinton recommending cigar humidors would have been better.
Good one. 🐩
Maybe they could do a nonfiction documentary of Joe Biden assaulting Tara Reid or Joe Biden showering with his daughter?
At least they’d probably have some success marketing it . . .
They would LOVE that because, in the end, perversion is their Schtick, isn’t it.
The Entertainment World is NO LONGER ENTERTAINING.
Perverted Crap.
Anti President Trump movie? The obvious choice is the network that also loves anti American films, HBO.
It seems they got the point.
They gave “Best Actress” award to a man. Morons.
It’s easy to stand and clap for this crap for 8 minutes but when asked for marketing and distribution funds, all the proggy virtue signallers head for the exits to catch their planes.
yup... 8^)
E. Jean Carroll will use the movie as basis of another rape charge against Trump like she did a Law and Order tv episode.
