News: Trump Biopic ‘The Apprentice’ Dominates Politically Charged Canadian Screen Awards

The Hollywood Reporter

A Canadian Screen Awards that put marginalized voices front and center and challenged the global political landscape saw The Apprentice, a film about a young Donald Trump, dominate the national film and TV awards Sunday night in Toronto.

Director Ali Abbasi’s Trump origin story won best movie, while Sebastian Stan, the Romania-born American actor who plays the future U.S. president alongside Jeremy Strong as his consigliere Roy Cohn, earned top honors for best leading role.

Daniel Bekerman, co-producer of the Canada/Ireland/Denmark co-production The Apprentice, said when accepting the prize, “Our movie shows how the young Donald Trump amassed wealth and power by finding a dilapidated building and slapping his name on it as president. We’ll see how that works out.”

Then Bekerman turned to Trump taunting Canada as a possible 51st state for the United States. “Now he wants to slap his name on this country. This is a challenge, but a good challenge, because as independent filmmakers and storytellers, what we need to do, what is our responsibility, is to tell stories with honesty that can build trust and build community. The rise of indigenous cinema in this country gives me hope. The rise of queer cinema in this country gives me hope. But we’re faced with power structures that want to silence us. It’s time to lock arms,” he added.

Bekerman added that The Apprentice, which bowed in Cannes, received nominations at the Golden Globes and the Academy Awards. “But Ali, I told you, you have to come to Canada if you want to find some guts in this industry,” he said in a call-out to director Abbasi in the audience.

News: Cannes: Neon Picks Up Sebastian Stan, Renate Reinsve-Starrer ‘Fjord’

The Hollywood Reporter – Neon has acquired North American and multiple international rights for the English-language debut of the Romanian director Cristian Mungiu, which re-teams the actors from ‘A Different Man.’

Neon has picked up rights for North America, the U.K., Australia and New Zealand for Fjord, the English-language debut of Palme d’Or-winning Romanian filmmaker Cristian Mungiu (4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days), starring Sebastian Stan and Renate Reinsve. Neon plans to release the film theatrically in the U.S..

The re-teaming of Stan and Reinsve, who co-starred in A Different Man, is a family drama focused on the Gheorghiu family, made up of a Romanian father (Stan) and a Norwegian mother (Reinsve), who relocate to a remote village in the mother’s homeland. They quickly form a close bond with the neighboring Halberg family. But when troubling allegations surface, the Gheorghius find themselves at the center of a small-town reckoning.

Stan is coming off a best actor Oscar nomination for playing Donald Trump in Ali Abbasi’s The Apprentice and a reprisal of his role as Bucky in the MCU in Thunderbolts*.

Fjord has just wrapped production in Norway. Goodfellas is handling worldwide sales. The project is one of the hot titles at this year’s Cannes film market. The deal was negotiated by Sarah Colvin on behalf of Neon and Eva Diederix for Goodfellas.

Mungiu, a Cannes mainstay, has previously received the festival’s top honors, including the Palme d’Or for 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days, best director for Graduation, and best screenplay for Beyond the Hills.

Neon, still enjoying the post-Oscar glow from Sean Baker’s best picture winner Anora, which won the Palme d’Or in Cannes last year, has several titles from this year’s festival lineup on its slate, including Joachim Trier’s Sentimental Value, Julia Ducournau’s Alpha, Raoul Peck’s Orwell: 2+2=5, and Michael Angelo Covino’s Splitsville.

Stan is represented by Brookside Artists Management, CAA, Sloan Offer Weber and Relevant. Reinsve is repped by CAA and Narrative.

News: Sebastian Stan & Leo Woodall Set For Justin Kurzel’s ‘Burning Rainbow Farm’

Deadline

Sebastian Stan (Thunderbolts) and Leo Woodall (The White Lotus) are set to star in Burning Rainbow Farm, the new film from The Order’s Justin Kurzel, on which we were first to report last December.

Rocket Science is preparing to introduce the project to international buyers at Cannes, with CAA Media Finance repping North American distribution rights.

An adaptation of the book by Dean Kuipers, penned by Tommy Murphy (Holding the Man), Burning Rainbow Farm tells the true story of Tom Crosslin and Rollie Rohm, a couple in rural Michigan who build a peaceful, pot-friendly utopia called Rainbow Farm. When the two run afoul of local authorities and their young son is taken from them, a standoff ensues leading to one of the largest and most dramatic sieges America has ever seen.

“Burning Rainbow is a love story about two outliers who raise their middle finger to hate and declare ‘This is who we are, and we dare you to take it from us’,” said Kurzel. “I’m excited to create this loveable and courageous couple with Sebastian and Leo, their union will be one to remember.”

The film will be produced by Nicole O’Donohue, Kurzel, and Alexandra Taussig for Thirdborn, along with Adam Shulman of Anonymous Content, Alix Madigan of Mad Dog Films, and Justin Lothrop and Brent Stiefel of Votiv.

Coming off of his first Oscar nomination for The Apprentice, Stan can currently be seen starring in Marvel’s Thunderbolts*, which since last week has grossed over $173M worldwide. He is represented by CAA, Brookside Artist Management, and Sloane Offer.

For Woodall, recent projects have included series Prime Target and One Day, as well as Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy for Peacock. He is repped by WME, Hamilton Hodell, Anonymous Content, and Goodman, Genow, Schenkman.

Garnering strong reviews for his true-crime thriller The Order, starring Jude Law, Nicholas Hoult, and Tye Sheridan, Kurzel also recently directed on and exec produced The Narrow Road to the Deep North, starring Jacob Elordi and Odessa Young, and is repped by HLA Management and Sloane Offer.

Murphy is repped by Cameron’s Management and Range Media Partners.

News: Gossip Girl Alum Sebastian Stan Reveals Where He Stands With His Costars

E Online

Sebastian Stan still has plenty of XOXO’s for this Gossip Girl alum.

While reflecting on the show’s 19th anniversary, the 42-year-old detailed which of the show’s original cast—which included Blake Lively, Leighton Meester, Penn Badgley, Chase Crawford and more—he still keeps in touch with.

“I talk to Chase a lot,” Sebastian told E! News’ Will Marfuggi in an exclusive interview at the Thunderbolts Los Angeles premiere April 28. “I knew him before Gossip Girl so we stayed close. Penn Badgley, I did his podcast at one point—but really Chase.”

And as Sebastian reprises his role of Bucky Barnes for Marvel’s Thunderbolts, which hits theaters May 2, he admitted that his superhero could hold his own against Chase’s The Boys character, The Deep—but he wouldn’t want to put his theory to the test.

“We could also just laugh it out,” he joked. “He’s just brilliant.” (For more from Sebastian and the Thunderbolts cast, tune into E! News tonight, April 29, at 11 p.m.)

All jokes aside, the Marvel star was committed to doing as many stunts as he could for the new movie, which also stars Florence Pugh and David Harbour, which proved to be a difficult undertaking.

“We just don’t have as much time as we used to in preparing,” he admitted. “It’s a little bit like, ‘hurry up and learn it and let’s do it.’”

And The Apprentice star noted that he is starting to feel the toll of getting older.

“That’s really tough,” he continued. “And mentally you’re still like ‘I can do it.’” Still, Sebastian wouldn’t change a thing about how he prepared for the film.

“It’s nice to have a challenge,” he added. “It’s nice to kind of be able to keep coming back to it. The fear and the adrenaline and the excitement kind of blend in together and by the end it’s all fun.”

As he put it, “As long as I can get in there a little bit, I’m grateful.”

News: Sebastian Stan Shares the Amusing Text He Got from Anthony Mackie Following Avengers: Doomsday Cast Announcement

People

Shortly after the star-studded Avengers: Doomsday lineup was announced on March 26, Sebastian Stan received a text from an old Marvel pal.

While speaking at a recent press junket for the latest Marvel Cinematic Universe film, Thunderbolts*, Stan, 42, shared the message he received from his The Falcon and the Winter Soldier costar Anthony Mackie. Mackie portrays Sam Wilson/The Falcon while Stan plays Bucky Barnes/The Winter Soldier.

“I got a text that went, ‘What’s up player’ and I was like, um ‘Not much. How are you?’ ” Stan said, impersonating Mackie, 46, with a laugh.

“And he was like, ‘When you come in, where are you staying at?’ And I was like, uh, ‘I don’t know yet, Anthony. I don’t have my place yet,’ ” Stan added, saying his costar and friend responded with, “Don’t be like that.”

The two have co-starred in the Marvel Cinematic Universe since 2014’s Captain America: The Winter Soldier. More recently, they reprised their respective superhero roles in the 2021 Disney+ series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. At the end of the series, Wilson assumes the role of Captain America from Chris Evans’ Steve Rogers following the events of Avengers: Endgame.

When asked recently by Variety if he would appear in Captain America: Brave New World (Stan makes a brief cameo), Stan noted that he has been preoccupied filming Thunderbolts*.

“[Filming] Thunderbolts*, let me tell you, it was a much quieter year for me because I didn’t see Anthony Mackie,” the actor teased. “So, I’ll say that. Although I miss Anthony Mackie like daily, and it’s something I don’t like to admit.”

As for what Stan thinks of his latest Marvel project, the actor also shared with PEOPLE of the Thunderbolts* cast, “I knew that it was gonna be great just because we all got along.”

“You’re putting a new bunch of people together that you haven’t really tested out before. It’s different when you’re bringing people back and you know their strengths together,” Stan said. “But here we sort of had to figure it out and they were open to that.”

The Thunderbolts are comprised of Stan as Bucky Barnes/The Winter Soldier, Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova, Hannah John-Kamen as Ava Starr/Ghost, David Harbour as Alexei Shostakov/Red Guardian, Olga Kurylenko as Antonio Dreykov/Taskmaster and Wyatt Russell as John Walker/U.S. Agent. Julia Louis-Dreyfus also stars as Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, the woman who gathers them together.
