Variety reports that Bakalova will be playing the late Ivana Trump, with the film trailing the relationship between the two, which resulted in some prolific real estate projects built over the course of their marriage. Strong will play Roy Cohn, a lawyer that had a close relationship with Trump early on in his life. The film, which has also been called “The Student” by some media outlets, will be written by Gabriel Sherman.
Before he was president, Trump was a significant TV personality, known for his reality show, which was also called “The Apprentice.” The series ran for fifteen seasons and trailed various contestants fighting for a spot in one of Trump’s organizations. The show featured appearances from all types of celebrities and connections to Trump, including his daughter, Ivanka Trump.
