“The Beast” and “The Apprentice” on special preview screenings in Astor Cinema

The Astor Cinema, presents a preview of two of the most anticipated films of the year:

The Beast on Tuseday 15/10 at 18.00 and 21.00 and The Apprentice on Wednesday 16/10 at 19.00 and 21.15

The Beast (2024), directed by Bertrand Bonello, is a blend of science fiction, horror, and romance, starring Léa Seydoux and George MacKay. The film is set across three timelines—1910, 2014, and 2044—where the two leads, Gabrielle (Seydoux) and Louis (MacKay), navigate complex emotional and existential crises across these periods.

“The Apprentice,” a film dramatizing Donald Trump’s rise in New York City real estate and his relationship with political power broker Roy Cohn, has found a distributor that will debut the film in the final stretch of the presidential election, according to a source with knowledge of the deal. Sebastian Stan stars as Trump and Jeremy Strong of “Succession” fame plays Cohn, one of the former president’s mentors.

“The Apprentice” premiered in May at the 77th Cannes Film Festival, where it immediately turned into a sociopolitical lightning rod.
