Trump Biopic Faces Release Battle Over Content and Financial Disputes

Daniel Snyder's involvement and controversial scenes stall U.S. distribution of 'The Apprentice' despite critical acclaim at Cannes.

Kinematics, backed by Daniel Snyder, is accused of blocking the film's release due to its portrayal of Trump.
The film, depicting Trump's early years, has struggled to find a U.S. distributor willing to take the risk.
Briarcliff Entertainment has shown interest, but financial disagreements have stalled the deal.
The film includes a controversial rape scene involving Trump and his first wife, Ivana, which has heightened tensions.
Efforts to buy out Kinematics' stake have been unsuccessful, prolonging the release saga.
