Jay Roach, the Emmy Award-winning producer behind the TV version of "Game Change," has reportedly signed on to direct the adaptation of author Michael Wolff's best-selling book "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House.

Axar.az informs citing The Hill.

Roach will be an executive producer on the limited series, along with Wolff and Michael Jackson, a longtime executive producer at Britain's BBC and Channel 4, The Hollywood Reporter said Wednesday.

The news comes after a reported seven-figure purchase by Endeavor Content in January of the TV and movie rights of the controversial White House tell-all.

"Fire and Fury" drew immense media attention upon its release, debuting at the No. 1 spot on The New York Times's best-seller list.

The White House has lambasted the book, which covers President Trump's campaign, presidential transition and first several months in office, as "a complete fantasy." It paints a picture of an incompetent, inexperienced commander in chief whose advisers fear could do lasting damage to the country.

Wolff, who claimed to have had relatively unfettered access to the fledgling administration, said this week that he is "barely a journalist" but more of an "observer."

Roach won critical acclaim for the HBO drama "Game Change," a dramatization of the 2008 presidential election based on a book co-authored by journalists Mark Halperin and John Heilemann. Before landing the job on "Fire and Fury," Roach was set to produce an HBO series on the pair's book on the tumultuous 2016 election before the project was ultimately axed amid allegations of sexual misconduct against Halperin.
