Michael Wolff's explosive behind-the-scenes book about President Donald Trump, Fire and Fury, is headed for television, Hollywood trade publications reported on Wednesday (local time).
Hollywood entertainment company Endeavor Content has bought the rights to the best-selling book and plans to adapt it for a television series, Variety and the Hollywood Reporter said.
Wolff will executive produce the series, which will be shopped to various networks. No casting or air date has been set but the announcement set off speculation about who would play some of the key figures in the White House.
Fire and Fury portrays a chaotic White House in Trump's first year as president, based on extensive interviews with Trump's former chief strategist Steve Bannon and others.
It sold more than 28,000 copies in the United States in its first week, according to NPD BookScan.
The book, published on January 5, characterised Trump as unstable, inept and unprepared to be president. Trump responded on Twitter that Wolff was "a total loser who made up stories in order to sell this really boring and untruthful book."

The writer of the book has been discredited Hes wrong about trump so. its fake book .like fake news. He stated trump was unfit to run a country. trumps health has been cleared.
All this demonisation about Trump, solely because he is righting leftist wrongs, and the democrats didn't expect him to win.
Leftist wrongs are righted by replacing them with Rightist wrongs. We already know about Trump's first 100; it was in the News. There is no objective analysis. To be anti Trump is tantamount to being anti American. The preceding comments show the fierce, wrong headed loyalty the President commands, even 15 thousand k away in New Zealand. Everything critical of Trump is labelled 'Fake'.
