You've Been Trumped: New Donald Trump drama series set to be released
A television series based on Donald Trump’s controversial visit to Scotland in 2006 is set to be directed by Nanny McPhee director Kirk Jones.
Upcoming series You’ve Been Trumped will centre on then The Apprentice host Donald Trump's attempts to build a golf course on a nature reserve and the opposition that ensued from villagers of a small Scottish community which made international headlines at the time.
“A special site of scientific interest was stripped of its status and a community of decent people faced an unwanted aggressor. This is a story that needs to be told to a wider audience,” Jones said in an interview with Variety.
“I am thrilled to be working with this team on what we plan to be a humorous, dramatic and emotionally engaging TV series set in one of the most stunning locations in the British Isles,” he said.
The drama is based on Anthony Baxter’s 2011 documentary and will be produced by Vertigo Films with Blazing Griffin and Montrose Pictures and executive produced by Jones himself, alongside Allan Niblo, Naysun Alae Carew, Lizzy Gray and Anthony Baxter.
“There was a reason why the world’s media was drawn to this story in 2006 and why there was such a determined effort to prevent Anthony Baxter’s excellent documentary of the same name, being released in 2011,” Jones said.
