'Fire and Fury' may become a TV series because there's not enough Trump coverage, I guess
Michael Wolff's Fire and Fury could be adapted into a TV series -- as if it could somehow top the 24-7 news cycle reality show hellstorm we're already living through.
But it's 2018, so here we are. The Hollywood Reporter says that Endeavor Content has purchased the rights to Wolff's controversial tome for seven figures.
There's no network attached yet, but it could wind up anywhere, given the book veers from political drama to slapstick comedy to horror anthology.

Because selling so many books and the rights to the books isn't enough, Wolff is also signed up to be executive producer of the series with THR adding that British television exec Michael Jackson would also produce the series.
It's still very early in the process, so don't expect the series to hit your screen anytime soon, if at all.
But given how much Trump vented his spleen on Twitter when Alec Baldwin began portraying him on SNL, only the ghost of Ronald Reagan knows what Trump will have to say about the actor who plays him in a Fire and Fury series.
Pro tip for Wolff: Just hire the horrific robot from Disney World.
