Is it that surprising that nobody wants to even touch Ali Abassi’s “The Apprentice”? Studios and streamers alike are passing on the film as if it’s a landmine waiting to detonate. Puck’s Matt Belloni is reporting that the big four streamers (Netflix, Amazon, Disney+ and Apple) have all passed on the film. This doesn’t give ‘Apprentice’ producers much of an option. At Cannes, I asked “who would actually want to go see this film?” Is there an audience for “The Apprentice”?
