A new biopic about Donald Trump is in the works, which should present him in a much more positive light than previous biographies – and a big budget should ensure that.
Last year, the film “The Intern” was released, in which Sebastian Stan plays the role of the American president.
The story takes place in the 1970s and 1980s, as Trump builds a career as a real estate developer, long before entering politics and becoming one of the most powerful people in the world.
Trump himself attacked the project, describing the film as a “slanderous and politically vile attack” that sought to destroy his reelection campaign last fall. However, he may like the new film much more, which is believed to have a much lighter approach.
It’s still too early to talk about details, but according to Deadline, a whopping 90 million euros is being invested in the biopic.
The film, which is still untitled and is scheduled to be presented to potential investors at the Cannes Film Festival this month, has yet to hire a director or an actor to portray the 78-year-old Trump.
However, Andrea Iervolino, who produced the films “Ferrari” and “To the Bone,” will work on the project and bring another film of Trump’s life to the big screen.
Although the film has a big budget, it is not yet known whether Trump himself is involved in the project or has given his consent. Iervolino hopes to start filming in late 2025.
Speaking about the film, Iervolino describes it as “an important new biography focused on the life and legacy of Donald J. Trump – real estate mogul, television icon, and the 45th and 47th president of the United States.”
Although Trump has been present on the public stage for decades and began his first presidential term in 2017, the film “The Intern” was the first time Hollywood portrayed him.
