Charlize Theron To Play Megyn Kelly In Fox News Movie At Annapurna
Deadline ^ | May 21, 2018 | Patrick Hipes

Posted on 05/21/2018 8:28:21 PM PDT by EdnaMode

Charlize Theron has been set to play Megyn Kelly in Annapurna Pictures’ untitled movie that will focus on the women of Fox News Channel who worked there during the tenure of Roger Ailes, the chairman and network architect who resigned in 2016 amid a sexual and workplace harassment scandal. Jay Roach is directing the pic written by The Big Short scribe Charles Randolph in a project that has been in the works since before Ailes’ death a year ago. It will feature an ensemble cast with characters portraying Ailes and those at FNC during the scandal, which began when ex–host Gretchen Carlson filed her $20 million sexual harassment lawsuit against Ailes.

No other casting is set at this point, we hear, and no start date has been set.

I wasn't expecting a sequel, but they do that a lot nowadays.

If the script is not too much of a Liberally biased Soap Opera, this could be something worth seeing. It’s not necessary that one likes all the characters.
If the film ever actually gets made, Megyn is going to do her best to get at least one Cameo Appearance plus screen credits as a paid Consultant.

There were a lot of very interesting personalities in the Old Fox News, long before “The Attack of the Gretchens”.
Robert Ailes alone was a tremendously talented, and unique professional. Ailes even advised Richard Nixon during the 1960 campaign with Kennedy.

Let me guess. The brainless bimbo women of Fox working for creepy Roger. Throw in brainwashed viewers.

I’ll wait for the movie about Harvey Weinstein that includes Meryl Streep and Oprah Winfrey praising him.

LOL

Megs really effed up her career. Everyone says she sucks on the morning show, and libs still hate her, her attacks on Trump haven’t changed that, so she has few fans left.
