Pre-production for an on-screen version of Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House seems to be well underway, as Emmy-winning director Jay Roach has signed on to helm the television adaptation, The Hollywood Reporter said Wednesday.

Published in January, the work sold more than a million copies in its first week and spurred fervent media coverage.
