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 Jan. 5, characterized 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."
