President Donald Trump is getting big-screen treatment in an upcoming film called “The Apprentice,” with an original screenplay being written by Vanity Fair’s Gabriel Sherman,
according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The movie, being produced by Amy Baer’s Gidden Media, will focus on Trump’s early influences — like lawyer Roy Cohn — during his rise to power in New York City.
“As a journalist, I've reported on Donald Trump for more than 15 years," Sherman said in a statement Wednesday, THR reported.
"I've long been fascinated by his origin story as a young builder coming up in the gritty world of 1970s and '80s New York. This formative period tells us so much about the man who today occupies the Oval Office."
Sherman, a special correspondent for VF, wrote “The Loudest Voice in the Room,” about the late Fox News founder Roger Ailes — a biography being adapted for television, THR reported.
“Gabe is an extraordinary storyteller as well as an impeccable journalist,” Baer told VF. “The timeliness of this subject, combined with Gabe’s professional pedigree and integrity, makes this a rare alignment of talent and subject.”
