A representative of the Trump campaign described the film as “pure malicious defamation”
A controversial biopic of Donald Trump and his rise to power will be released just weeks before the election, after the film’s producers finally found a distributor.
The Apprentice, starring Sebastian Stan as Donald Trump, will be released on 11 October.
The film debuted at the Cannes Film Festival back in May, but it’s thought the potential for legal challenges from Donald Trump prevented the film from being picked up for distribution.
In one scene in the film, Trump is shown raping his former wife Ivana, on the basis of an allegation made during Donald and Ivana Trump’s divorce proceedings. In her deposition, Ivana said the words were not intended to be taken literally.
Steven Cheung, communications director for the Trump campaign, described the film as being “malicious defamation.”
“This ‘film’ is pure malicious defamation, should never see the light of day, and doesn’t even deserve a place in the straight-to-DVD section of a bargain bin at a soon-to-be-closed discount movie store, it belongs in a dumpster fire,” Cheung said.
Cheung added that legal action would be taken to address the false claims made in the film.
