Days after the publication of his latest book on President Donald Trump, author Michael Wolff is revisiting his perennial subject once more — this time in documentary form.
Sky has announced that Wolff is participating in its upcoming documentary Rewriting Trump, which will chart the return of the embattled businessman to the White House through the commentary of the Fire and Fury, Siege, Landslide and All or Nothing author. The Comcast-owned European entertainment company says the documentary, filmed in 2024, “follows the US president’s seemingly impossible rebound from disgraced Mar-a-Lago exile, back to the desk in the Oval Office.”
Co-directed by Yasmine Permaul and Arthur Cary, the documentary will feature insiders like Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr., two advisors to Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign, Chris LaCivita and Jason Miller, and Stormy Daniels, among others. The project is said to cover major turning points in the 2024 presidential race, including the attempted assassination of Trump near Butler, Pennsylvania, the controversy over Joe Biden’s mental acuity following his participation in a June 27 presidential debate and Kamala Harris’ rise as the Democratic candidate.
The film premieres on Sky Documentaries at 9 p.m. and on NOW TV on March 4 in the U.K.
“Last year’s election campaign was the most exciting and unpredictable in modern history with events and reversals that were mind boggling. The film captures them all in close-up with wry and insightful commentary from Michael Wolff who was there for them all,” says executive producer James Marsh, who directed Man on Wire and The Theory of Everything, in a statement. “The film also paints a portrait of the author, a prickly, provocative and consistently amusing writer, at times exasperated and tormented by what he witnesses as he tries to remain an unbiased chronicler of our extraordinary times. This is the biggest story of the 21st century, told with exuberance, wit and sometimes chilling insight.”
Wolff’s latest book, All or Nothing: How Trump Recaptured America, has made headlines with reporting on Melania Trump’s relationship with her husband and on an alleged statement that daughter Ivanka Trump and son-in-law Jared Kushner declined to sign. It has also irked the president, who has long complained about Wolff and recently posted on social media that the book was “a total FAKE JOB.” On Wednesday Trump additionally made a vague threat to sue authors who use anonymous sources in reporting about him.
Produced by Sky Studios, Rewriting Trump is executive produced by Marsh and Sky Studios’ Jonathan Parker.
