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 TV series. A network is not yet attached, as Endeavor will now begin shopping the project.
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 debuted at No. 1 on the New York Times best-seller list, based only on the first two days of sales. In less than a week, the publisher reported more than 1.4 million hardcovers on order and 700,000 copies shipped, making it the fastest-selling nonfiction book in the company’s history.
To date, rights to the book have been sold in 32 countries. It is currently the best-selling book of any genre worldwide. (A Spanish-language edition is set for Feb. 28, with subsequent takes in Arabic, Albanian, Portuguese, Bulgarian, Japanese, French, German and other languages also planned.)
I think that we all know that Trump will be glued to the TV while this show is on, and rage tweeting like a maniac until his phone finally bursts into flames.
Hey, maybe they will get Alec Baldwin to play Trump.
Because THAT would send him right over the edge.
Where the nasty dotard is going there is no TV. But he will have time to remember each and every second of his life. And he will soon be told, little girls grow up and they remember clearly who harmed them, molested them and who was to blame. Little girls and boys grow up and will share their story to the world. The ugly dotard bully has occupied our life for over 365 days and nights. We know his most dangerous and private secrets. He is the ultimate sh*thole.

alex is way too good looking to play rump.
ReplyDeleteIs it going to be a sit-com, a farce?
ReplyDeleteWell of course it is!

ReplyDeleteOne slight correction Gryphen: Neither federal nor New York state prison inmates are allowed to be in possession of cellular phones.
Here is a title suggestion for the TV series:

OT If you haven’t read this yet, you really need to. The NRA is under investigation for activities related to partnering with a Russian central banker & possible illegal foreign campaign contributions to Republican candidates. #Nashville #MuellerInvestigation

Re-upping our reporting since it is now confirmed that SC Mueller is indeed investigating
FOR GUNS AND COUNTRY

If only that would forever sink the NRA.
DeleteI think he may secretly love it because it feeds his needy ego and bottomless appetite for attention of any kind good or bad. After all Trump is the world's biggest troll and frankly pretty good at it.
ReplyDeleteGood point. However, IMO, since Trump needs to be loved and adored I think he might prefer positive attention. But, like Palin, any attention will do...it's better than none at all.

ReplyDelete"there was a certain writer we called a "bosomy dirty book writer.""
" He'll send me pictures, tear sheets from magazines, and he did it as recently as [last] April. With a gold Sharpie, he'll circle his fingers and in his handwriting say, "See, not so short." And this April when he sent me one, I just — I should have held on to the thing, but I sent it right back by messenger with a note, a card stapled to the top, saying, "Actually, quite short." And I know it just gives him absolute fits. And now that it's become sort of part of the whole campaign rhetoric, I'm sure he wants to just KILL me — with those little hands." 3/7/16
"rump was operating from a different universe, like a cartoon character. There's no gaffe possible out of Donald Trump. He has said everything possible that would get other people in trouble for 30 years. And as it turned out, that's been one of his secret superpowers, is that he really can't say anything that gets him, you know, in trouble."
"he's damageable, but, I mean, short of putting on the Nazi uniform, I don't see it happening."

"Their humor at Spy echoes today: Their constant mockery of Trump as a "short-fingered vulgarian""
'rump aide Hicks on my Spy story: “I think he’s made pretty clear that he has wonderful, powerful, beautiful hands.”'
Note how Tr*mp never objected to being called a “vulgarian.” Only the “short-fingered” refs in Spy magazine got to him.
DeleteGlad Grayson Carter is still around to see these thirty-plus-year-old chickens come home to roost...
Trump said he would take the fall for everyone that enabled and aided the crime of treason against Americans. The dotard stepped right up and took the bait. Here big Donald here is the USA Presidency, the money laundering, the espionage against America and All Americans. Here you go Donald.
ReplyDeleteIt is very awakening to realize the corruption, the liars from the US Supreme Court awarding "Citizen United" a vote to the corrupt Walmart worker. The criminal charges stretch from dotard to dildos in the sex industry.
The amount of money to destroy America with assault weapons, money laundering, election rigging and down right evil is trillions. And some moron decided to attempt to pull off this outrageously stupid crime. FOR WHAT?

"Margarita Simonyan: We found that absolutely unfair, outrageous-- illegal because it wasn't approved of by the United Nations. It was a shock. America had Russia wrapped around it little-- little pinky through the whole '90s. We did everything you told us. And we were eager to do more and more. The whole nation-- Russian nation was like, "Tell us what else we can do to please you. We want to be like you. We love you." And then in 1999 bam. You bomb Yugoslavia. And that was the end of it.

Pence, trump, and the rest of the hanging dingle berries from this shitshow must stay in town. Per house arrest. More chapters are being developed daily and they are the stars of the shitshow. Time to monitor them all closely.
ReplyDelete' Time to monitor them all closely. '
ReplyDeleteYES!!!!!!!!!!
OT? "rump acted to limit Bannon’s testimony based on legal advice provided by Uttam Dhillon, a deputy White House counsel, who concluded that the administration might have legitimate executive privilege claims to restrict testimony by Bannon and other current and former aides to the president, according to these same sources.”

ReplyDeleteI hope they actually do make this into a series. They should not cast a DJT character at all. Make the show about everyone else's reaction to him, his tweets, his public appearances. Cast everyone else around him, let the freak show speak for itself.
ReplyDeleteThey could ask John Goodman, but he’d have to gain weight for the role and he’s not about to do that after slimming down.
ReplyDeleteBalwin has the build and facial structure. If they ask him he might say yes, relishing playing Trump straight rather as a farce. If he pulled it off, he might get another Emmy for Best Actor in a Movie - Drama.
