First, Donald Trump announced plans for a Broadway musical based on The Apprentice, now the Donald's getting his own TV movie.

Not that the perpetually self-promoting Trump has anything to do with the latter: ABC has fast-tracked development on an unauthorized biopic of the real-estate magnate turned reality TV star, E! has confirmed.

No word on who will model the comb-over coif for the teleflick, but casting is under way. Producers are aiming to start shooting as early as next month.

The TV movie will be based on Gwenda Blair's The Trumps: Three Generations That Built an Empire and focus on Trump's personal life and boardroom dealings over the past quarter century as he ascended to the top of America's business world.

"Donald Trump is the American version of royalty," Quinn Taylor, senior vice president of movies and miniseries at ABC, told the Hollywood Reporter. "He's probably one of the most fascinating and intriguing men of my generation who has continually kept himself at the top of his game. That he was able to do it is worth exploring."

Speaking to Access Hollywood, Trump said he "will definitely" sue ABC if he discovers any inaccuracies in the TV movie. However, he added, "But as long as it's accurate, I won't be suing them."

Alphabet reps said the flick will not document the newly remarried Trump's second life as a TV star offering up business acumen and his trademark "You're Fired!" catchphrase to wannabe moguls on NBC's hit reality series, The Apprentice. ABC doesn't want to do anything to pimp a rival network.

That means the planned docudrama won't be dealing with a major lawsuit that has just been filed against The Apprentice.

A quadriplegic St. Louis attorney has filed a federal suit against Trump and Apprentice producer Mark Burnett, accusing them of violating the Americans with Disabilities Act by discriminating against him and other disabled individuals who want to try out for the show.

The complaint, filed by 32-year-old aspiring contestant James Schottel, is asking a judge to order Trump & Co. to allow him "to apply and be considered for The Apprentice" by the time auditions begin Friday in St. Louis.

Schottel says the show's application is discriminatory because it cautions all candidates to "be in excellent physical and mental health" and "meet all physical and psychological requirements."

Such restrictions, he believes, effectively rule out disabled people from applying for the program, which NBC and producers hype as "the ultimate job interview." The winner is awarded a high-paying job within Trump's corporate domain.

"I'm a fan of the show, and I'm a fan of Mr. Trump, and I don't think he would support any kind of discrimination," Schottel told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "To be a corporate executive, I don't think you need to be able to run 100 yards or run a flight of steps or anything of that nature."

A former football player at Baker University until he suffered a spinal cord injury and was paralyzed during a fraternity hazing incident at the college, Schottel obtained his law degree in 1999 from St. Louis University.

Schottel says he has no knowledge of The Apprentice turning away disabled individuals in the past. He hopes the preemptive legal action--which seeks no monetary damages--might open doors for people like him to compete.

Calls to Mark Burnett Productions were not returned. Trump was not immediately available to comment on the lawsuit.

NBC was not named in the suit, but network publicist Jim Dowd said that two wheelchair-bound people were interviewed in New York City last week as part of casting for season four, with Trump personally sitting in on the sessions.

"We're treating them like everyone else," he said.
