The trailer for an Irish-produced biopic of Donald Trump has been released and shows Sebastian Stan's transformation into a young Trump.
The Apprentice, which includes the Dublin-based Tailored Films among its producers, traces Trump's origin story as an ambitious young property developer in 1970s and 1980s New York.
Stan, best known from Marvel superhero films, stars as Trump, while Jeremy Strong of Succession fame plays his ruthless mentor and attorney Roy Cohn.
The film from Iranian-born director Ali Abbasi and writer Gabriel Sherman starts out by portraying Trump as a headstrong but naive social climber before showing his decency being eroded as he learns the dark arts of deal-making.
Reflecting on playing Trump, Hollywood actor Stan previously said: "It was a 24/7 emersion process of basically living with him, to some extent, in my headphones and on my phone and YouTube."
He added: "I think there's a lot to learn from the film."
Borat Subsequent Moviefilm star Maria Bakalova, plays Mr Trump's former wife Ivana Trump and Tenet star Martin Donovan takes on the role of the politician’s father Fred Trump.
The film premiered at the 77th Cannes Film Festival in May and will have its UK premiere at London Film Festival in October.
The Apprentice will be released in Irish cinemas on 18 October.
