Charlize Theron to Play Megyn Kelly in Film About Women of Fox News
decider ^ | May 22, 2018 | Patrick Hipes

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.

The Hollywood Idiots ran out of ideas for films long ago.

Well, her tits are nearly amply enough to portray Megan.

Around 200K. That’s where some of Jim Carrey’s latest efforts have ended up.

Alessandra Ambrosio as Kimberly Guilfoyle and Candice Swanepoel as Shannon Bream and who cares about the plot.

Something tells me it will not be fair and balanced.

With Theron's harsh political leanings I imagine she took this project as an opportunity to propagate her staunch leftwing politics.

My guess is that this will be a leftwing feminist movie that will portray FOXNews in a most graphically vulgar manner and it will use the late Roger Ailes as their prop for the Conservative White male who ran FOX, watch FOXNews, and voted for Trump.

Bank on it.

A. Even $25 million would be ten times more than “Truth.” Annapurna isn only a vanity project. Their biggest hit by a factor of ten was “Detroit” which didn’t get near $25 (and lost a TON of money.) Theron has done a pile of similar vanity projects which didn’t raise close to ONE million dollars.

This would need Spielberg directing it and a slew of Oscar nominations to make $25M.

...Unless, you mean $25K, and are using “M” to mean “Mill.”

In another thread two months ago, Charlize Theron said she was leaving the United States for good?

So this film is her parting shot at American Society.

But will she return for her Oscar?

At least Carlson did it right and the legal way by filing a complaint over sexual harassment that occurred in the recent past. That is something that both Charlize and her ex- have come out very much in support. I don’t see the hypocrisy.

This is not a movie intended to expose Roger Ailes or to depict Megyn Kelly or Gretchen Carlson or any other women as victims of Ailes or other men at FOX.

This movie is about the left going after FOX, their arch-enemy that stands in the left’s way, refusing to go along with the left’s agenda and the left’s message. It is about branding FOX as being out of the “mainstream” and mean-spirited and about being “faux news”. Megyn Kelly and
Gretchen are just tools for the left, and their real target is FOX.
