The Funny Or Die director behind the parody short film, Art of the Deal, said that the real Trump seems to have more insane moments than their spoof version. “What has come out of Trump’s mouth since is a thousand times more insane than anything we might have fictionalized,” director
Jeremy Konner said in a report by Los Angeles Times.
The film is a parody based on Trump: The Art of the Deal with Johnny Depp as the titular hero. The film that was released online on Thursday created waves on social media, just after Donald Trump‘s primary win in New Hampshire on Wednesday.
Trump: The Art of the Deal is a book penned by Donald Trump almost 30 years ago. After such a long time, the book is again into limelight as it is adapted into a comedy, starring none other than Johnny Depp as the not-so-famous billionaire casino tycoon turned politician in loads of makeup. The amazing actor that he actually is has been proved once again in this 50-minute film that appears to look like a television movie set in the 1980s.
Art of the Deal is based around the fake principles from Trump’s eponymous 1987 bestseller, “The art of buying a hotel from the Hilton family,” “The art of marrying a gorgeous immigrant” and follows the tycoon as he narrates a number of actual anecdotes from the book to a young boy, according to LATimes.
“A lot of what we put in a few months ago, we were shaking heads thinking Donald Trump wouldn’t actually say something like this,” said Jeremy Konner of “Drunk History” who directed the Trump film. “And since then he’s said all these things out loud.”
“We shot the entire movie in four days,” screenwriter Joe Randazzo told NPR. The cast and crew were on set until “all hours of the night,” he says. “Nobody knew what the heck was going on.”
The film is absolutely nuts, featuring appearances from Alfred Molina, Jack McBrayer, Michaela Watkins, and many others. Kenny Loggins has written the theme song of the parody.
When the movie was filmed, no one working on the production thought about how long Trump’s campaign could go. The best part for the film is it is still going strong.
