The film will specifically delve into his relationship with Roy Cohn, the controversial McCarthy-era lawyer-turned-New York City political figure who mentored Trump.

Here’s the photo of Jeremy and Sebastian in character:
There’s a lot to take in here. There’s the very ’80s car interior color scheme and car phone. Most notable is the actor’s apt transformations, specifically through their hair: Jeremy with Cohn’s buzzcut and Sebastian with Trump’s side-swept hair.
It was also announced on Thursday that the movie will premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in May. Ali Abbasi (seen below) is directing The Apprentice from a screenplay by Gabriel Sherman.
