The world learned Thursday morning that journalist and author Michael Wolff has sold the TV rights to his searing, maybe factual, exposé of the Trump administration, Fire and Fury, for more than $1 million. For that kind of money, one can expect an A-list cast.

1. Amanda Peet: best known for starring roles in The Whole Nine Yards and the HBO series Togetherness
