Sebastian Stan, the star of Pam & Tommy and multiple Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) films, is set to play a younger version of former US president Donald Trump in the upcoming movie The Apprentice from Iranian filmmaker Ali Abbasi.

According to entertainment news outlet Deadline, Succession alum Jeremy Strong and Oscar nominee Maria Bakalova will also appear in the movie, touted as an "exploration of power and ambition set in a world of corruption and deceit”.

The Apprentice will examine Trump’s efforts to build his real estate business in New York in the 1970s and 1980s, also digging into his relationship with infamous attorney Roy Cohn. It’s a mentor-protege story that charts the origins of a major American dynasty, as per the official logline.

Strong, also known for his film roles in The Trial of the Chicago 7, Molly's Game, and The Big Short, will portray Cohn, a notorious lawyer and fixer who Trump considered a mentor early in his career.

Bakalova, who received an Academy Award nomination for Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, will appear as the late Ivana Trump, a businesswoman who partnered with then-husband Donald Trump on some of his most prominent real estate projects.

The two divorced in 1992, and Ivana Trump died last year.

Gabriel Sherman, whose bestseller The Loudest Voice in the Room inspired Showtime’s miniseries The Loudest Voice, starring Russell Crowe as Fox News founder Roger Ailes, will serve as the writer on the project.

The Apprentice will be produced by Daniel Beckerman of Scythia Films, Jacob Jerek of Profile Pictures, and Ruth Treacy of Taylored Films.

Kannada priest makes India’s first AI film without actors or crew on £9,500 budget

In a quiet village near Bengaluru, a temple priest has done something no one expected. He made a full-length Kannada film without hiring a single actor, technician or musician. Narasimha Murthy, who serves at the Hanumantharai Temple in Siddehalli, created Love You, a 95-minute film entirely powered by Artificial Intelligence.

Murthy didn’t come from a film background, nor did he have access to a big team. Instead, he joined hands with Nuthan, a graphic designer who taught himself how to use AI tools. Together, the two-man team used around 30 different AI applications to design the cast, create visuals, generate drone-like shots, compose music and even script dialogues. The film cost £9,500 (₹10 lakh) to make, most of which went into buying software licences, and took just six months to complete.

Anurag Kashyap booked for 'will urinate on Brahmins' comment, apologises for crossing the line

Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap is at the centre of a legal and public controversy after his social media comment targeting the Brahmin community triggered backlash and police action. A formal complaint was lodged in Raipur by Pandit Neelkanth Tripathi, a key member of the Rashtriya Brahman Mahasangh, prompting local police to file an FIR under the new Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita for allegedly promoting disharmony and offending religious sentiments.

Kashyap’s remark, made in response to a social media user who insulted him, was widely seen as offensive and derogatory towards Brahmins. The filmmaker admitted to responding in anger and acknowledged that his choice of words was inappropriate. In his apology, Kashyap said he acted out of character and hurt not just the community but also people close to him. “In the heat of the moment, I lost my temper and said things I shouldn’t have,” he wrote, stressing that many Brahmins have been part of his personal and professional life.
