Donald Trump would not like or dislike “The Apprentice,” director Ali Abbasi said at a Cannes Film Festival press conference on Tuesday. “If I was him, I would be sitting in New Jersey, Florida, wherever he is now… I would think, ‘Oh, this crazy Iranian guy, they did this movie and it’s f–ked up, and it’s demeaning, and it’s a conspiracy…
“I don’t necessarily think this is a movie he would dislike,” he added. “I don’t think he would like it, I think he would be surprised.”
The Iranian-born, Denmark-based director also said he’d be happy to show the movie to its subject.
