Michael Wolff’s controversial exposé into the first year of the Trump White House could be headed [for a screen adaptation](https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/17/business/media/michael-wolff-fire-and-fury-trump.html?%5Fr=0).

The rights to the no. 1 best-seller, [_Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House_,](http://time.com/5087823/michael-wolff-fire-and-fury-donald-trump-white-house/) have been [acquired by Endeavor Entertainment](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/michael-wolffs-fire-fury-become-tv-series-1075346), the Los-Angeles based financing arm of William Morris Endeavor and IMG, with plans to develop the book into a TV show or a feature film, according to the _Hollywood Reporter_. The deal is believed to be for hundreds of thousands of dollars, the _Reporter_ says, with Wolff enlisted as an executive producer along with former Channel 4 and BBC executive Michael Jackson. The project does not yet have a TV network or film studio.

A _Fire and Fury_ film or television show could be the first dramatic portrayal of the Trump White House and seems likely to depict [in-fighting and dysfunction](http://time.com/5087774/michael-wolff-book-cease-desist-letter-steve-bannon/), a key selling point of the book, which claims to [reveal in the inner workings](http://time.com/5106711/michael-wolff-trump-white-house/) of the Trump administration. HBO was previously developing a show based on a planned book about the 2016 presidential election by Mark Halperin and John Heilemann, but both the [book deal](http://ew.com/books/2017/10/26/penguin-cancels-mark-halperin-book-2016-election/) and adaptation [were dropped](http://ew.com/tv/2017/10/26/hbo-halts-mark-halperin-project/) after Halperin faced [widespread accusations of sexual misconduct](https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/26/business/media/halperin-sexual-harassment.html).

Wolff’s book [shot to the top of bestseller lists](http://time.com/money/5089578/michael-wolff-fire-and-fury-trump-sales/) and created a media sensation after excerpts were published online, driving a [rift between the White House and former chief strategist Steve Bannon](http://time.com/5086254/trump-steve-bannon-book/) and leading the publisher, Henry Holt and Company, to [move up the publication date](http://time.com/5088835/donald-trump-michael-wolff-early-publication/).

TIME [spoke with Michael Wolff](http://time.com/5094085/fire-and-fury-michael-wolff-interview/) this month, with the journalist and author calling Trump’s reaction to the book’s publication, and his [issuing denials](http://time.com/5089289/donald-trump-fire-fury-book-steve-bannon/) and [cease and desist letters](http://time.com/5092923/fire-fury-michael-wolff-publisher-trump-unconstitutional/) in an effort to block its publication, [“ludicrous” and “scary.”](http://time.com/5094085/fire-and-fury-michael-wolff-interview/)
