    Donald Trump biopic causes a stir in Cannes
    13 hours ago

    A new film about Donald Trump has had its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, attracting mostly good reviews from critics but a legal threat from the former president.

    Titled The Apprentice, the biopic traces Mr Trump's origin story as an ambitious young property developer in 1970s and 80s New York.

    His spokesman described the film, which features a scene where he is seen raping his first wife Ivana, as "garbage", "pure fiction" and "election interference by Hollywood elites".

    The movie begins with a disclaimer that many of its events are fictionalised.

    It debuted as Mr Trump's hush-money trial continues in New York, while he gears up for another presidential election in November.

    According to news agency AFP, the film "paints an unflinching but nuanced portrait of the former US president".

    The film, said to feature "rape, erectile dysfunction, baldness and betrayal", starts out with a sympathetic potrayal of a headstrong but naive social climber.

    As it progresses, however, the movie charts Mr Trump's "decency being eroded as he learns the dark arts of dealmaking and tastes power".


    Trump's campaign communications director Steven Cheung said legal action would be taken "to address the blatantly false assertions from these pretend filmmakers".

    In response, Abbasi told reporters in Cannes: "Donald's team should wait to watch the movie before they start suing us.

    "I don't necessary think this is a movie that he would dislike... I think he would be surprised."
