Michael Wolff's 'Fire and Fury' to Become TV Series (Exclusive)

Michael Wolff's controversial Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House is coming to television.

Endeavor Content — the financing and sales arm formed in October between sister companies William Morris Endeavor and IMG — has purchased film and television rights to the No. 1 best-selling book. The massive deal is said to be in the seven-figure range. Endeavor Content plans to adapt the book as a television series. A network is not yet attached, as Endeavor will now begin shopping the series.

Wolff will executive produce the series, with veteran Channel 4 and BBC executive Michael Jackson — now CEO of indie producer Two Cities Television — also on board to produce.

Fire and Fury, which tells the inside story of Donald Trump’s first year as president based on Wolff’s exclusive access to the White House, has been the publishing sensation of 2018. The book had attracted little attention since it was first announced in November. But in early January The Guardian leaked news from the heavily embargoed book and authorized excerpts in New York and a column The Hollywood Reporter — where Wolff serves as a columnist — created a sensation. President Trump attacked both the book and former adviser Steve Bannon, who was one of Wolff’s principal sources. Bannon later stepped down from Breitbart News in the aftermath of the publication of his comments in the book.

Hmm, what can Omarosa! Do to get Trump to hate HER book?

[fountainofyouth]

1. Casting call for Mike Flynn look-alikes! n/t

[Dopers_Greed]

2. Attn DU...Let's offer them casting suggestions

Gary Busey as Donald Trump

Edward Norton as Corey Lewandowski

[NCjack]

3. Gary Busey as Donald Trump? Wont work, unless GB can dig

deep inside for much more insane cow bell. What I'm saying is: get Donald Trump to play Donald Trump in the movie. Everything from p*ssygr*bbing to selling America to Putin and to plundering the U.S. Treasury.

[Liberalagogo]

8. Busey

supports the shithole. So he wouldn't do it.

[Cha]

35. Exactly.. that's what I said.

Alec Baldwin would be perfect.. he could tone it down a bit for the series.

[Liberalagogo]

7. Busey's a wingnut

and a shithole supporter

[enid602]

29. Stormy

Stormy Daniels as Ivanka. Maybe they can get Stormy to look a bit down market to make it believable.

[Cha]

31. Busey is trumper..

Wonder how these dumbfucks feel now?

I say give an anti-trumper a job..

How about Alec Baldwin?! lol

[mainstreetonce]

4. Oh please ...can Rosie O'Donnell play trump? ..

...

[Liberalagogo]

6. She's better as Bannon

Alec Baldwin to play the Shithole.

[FakeNoose]

12. Two good calls - Baldwin and O'Donnell

It's hard to mention actors' names without sounding like we're insulting them.
For example Holly Hunter would be great as KellyAnne Conway, but I think it's because she's a great actress. Not because she's an a-hole like KellyAnne.

I wish Philip Seymore Hoffman were still alive because he'd be perfect for Steve Bannon.

[NanceGreggs]

26. My first thought, too.

Philip Seymour Hoffman as Trump - would have been perfect casting.

[BumRushDaShow]

23. Let Bill Murray be Bannon

again....!

[Cha]

32. Alec Baldwin..

BRDS

[BumRushDaShow]

34. Baldwin as Drumpf!

Kushner - Michael Cera
