The film will specifically delve into his relationship with Roy Cohn, the controversial McCarthy-era lawyer-turned-New York City political figure who mentored Trump.

Now, the first official photo of Sebastian and Jeremy as Trump and Cohn in the film has been released, and Sebastian paints a pretty accurate image of a young Trump.

There's a lot to take in here. There's the very '80s car interior color scheme and car phone. Most notable is the actor's apt transformations, specifically through their hair: Jeremy with Cohn's buzzcut and Sebastian with Trump's side-swept hair.

In March, Jeremy told New York Times magazine he dove into playing Cohn after finishing filming Succession.

"I went right into Roy Cohn, partly just to sort of shake it off," Jeremy told the publication of his Succession character, Kendall Roy. "Roy Cohn, you can't overstate his influence in our country, his legacy of the denial of reality and certain things that he imparted to Donald Trump. His playbook has a tentacular reach that is staggering — the most fascinating person I've ever tried to inhabit. I should say a disclaimer: My job is to be a humanistic investigator of a subject and to withhold judgment. So while I personally might have a lot of judgment about Roy Cohn, that is not the part of me that engages in the creative work."

It was also announced on Thursday that the movie will premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in May. Ali Abbasi (seen below) is directing The Apprentice from a screenplay by Gabriel Sherman.
