Tiger King star John Reinke has admitted it “irritates” him that he has not made any money from the Netflix hit.
Earlier this month, it was announced that Nicolas Cage will star as Joe Exotic in a new scripted series about the animal trader.
The eight-episode show will chronicle how Exotic “fought to keep his park even at the risk of losing his sanity”.
The documentary about the feud between cat trader Joe Exotic and animal rights activist Carole Baskin was hugely popular when it was released in March this year, turning its contributors into celebrities overnight.
