Kirk Jones, the director of “Nanny McPhee,” is set to direct his first television series, “You’ve Been Trumped,” which will take on Donald Trump.
“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,” said Jones.
“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 and 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,” Jones finished.

Kirk Jones’ TV series will be based on the 2011 documentary by Anthony Baxter
Vertigo Films (“Britannia”), Blazing Griffin (“Book of Love”), and Montrose Pictures co-produce the series (“You Have Been Trumped”). Jones will work with Alan Niplow of Vertigo Films, Naysun Alae Carew of Blazing Griffin, Lizzie Grey of Blazing Griffin, and Anthony Baxter of Montrose Pictures to co-produce the series.
The drama is based on Anthony Baxter’s 2011 documentary, which has a 7.5 IMDb rating and tells the story of a small Scottish village that took on the then-reality TV star when he attempted to build a golf course in a nature reserve. Jones, who previously wrote and directed “Waking Ned” and “Everybody’s Fine,” will write the project as well, with Baxter serving as a creative consultant.
When it was announced that the documentary would air on BBC Two in the United Kingdom on October 21, 2012, Trump’s lawyers contacted the broadcaster to request that it not be shown, claiming that it is “defamatory” and “misleading.” The screening went off without a hitch. The BBC defended its decision, citing Trump’s repeated refusals to be interviewed for the film.
Baxter also announced the release of the film’s sequel, You’ve Been Trumped Too, in October 2016, just before the 2016 United States presidential election. The documentary focused on Trump International Golf Links neighbours’ problems, including a 92-year-old woman who claimed she was forced to collect water in a bucket from a nearby stream after construction workers cut off the supply for her. In response to the film, Trump International lawyers threatened to sue anyone who showed it.
In September 2014, a follow-up documentary, A Dangerous Game, was released. The story of the locals’ fight against Donald Trump is continued in the film, but it also ventures further afield. It details Trump’s plans to build a luxury golf course on Mount Sr, which overlooks Dubrovnik, Croatia, and is being opposed by local residents. Residents win the referendum, but officials ignore it.
