Biopic Director Welcomes Trump’s Threats: “Bring It On”

The Hollywood Reporter reports:

When asked about the possibility of future Trump threats at The Apprentice‘s New York premiere, just a little over a block away from Trump Tower, director Ali Abbasi stood by his movie and doubted Trump’s team would sue.

“I doubt they have the balls [to come after the film],” Abbasi told The Hollywood Reporter. “I don’t think so, because they know we’re right. They know there’s nothing to be sued about.

⁦Just saw the @ApprenticeMov⁩ and let me be very clear…it’s AMAZING! Gabe Sherman created a script that accurately depicts the narcissistic sociopathy of ⁦@realDonaldTrump⁩. And, each of the actors portrayed their characters perfectly. Donald is going to hate this! pic.twitter.com/F1YZ2CD8DZ
