Yahoo News Sebastian Stan's controversial new movie is now available to watch at home
Sebastian Stan's controversial Donald Trump movie The Apprentice has become available to watch at home for US viewers.
The film, which hit cinemas last month, focuses on the former US president's early career in New York real estate and his relationship with mentor Roy Cohn (played by Succession's Jeremy Strong).
Viewers in the US can now buy and rent The Apprentice via Prime Video (costing $24.99 and $19.99). The film hasn't become available at home for those in the UK yet – though fans can pre-order for £19.99 ahead of its release on a yet-to-be-confirmed date.

The movie debuted to a mixed reception, though has since earned a positive 81% fresh score on Rotten Tomatoes.
Alongside Strong and Stan (who portrays Trump), the Ali Abbasi movie also stars Maria Bakalova as Trump's first wife Ivana and Martin Donovan as his father Fred.
The film proved controversial after initially struggling to find a US distributor amid legal threats from Trump's US presidential campaign team.

Speaking about The Apprentice in a recent interview, Abbasi told the Los Angeles Times that the movie wasn't a "political hit piece".
"It’s in the nature of politics that you sort of streamline things to get a certain effect, in order to gain power or regain power," he said. "And that is really not the project here. We are all interested in exploring the complexities.
"This is an experience and it’s an experience of the complexity of these characters. Also, for me as an outsider, this was my chance to look at the American system and the utter corruption that has been an institutionalised part of it, at least from my perspective."
The Apprentice is available to buy and rent on Prime Video in the US, with a UK release date yet to be confirmed.
