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.

"Wish she would take up farming in her native South Africa."

The most endangered species in the world are white people farming in South Africa.

Yes, you are most likely correct. The sole purpose of the movie is to tarnish FOX News.

Alessandra Ambrosio as Kimberly Guilfoyle and Candice Swanepoel as Shannon Bream and who cares about the plot.
+++++++++
You are clearly thinking along the same lines that I am. Who cares about the politics if you have Charlize and your two gals on the screen. And I have to comment that Ms. Theron seems to be improving with age. Beautiful woman. Way more beautiful than the failed Megyn.

"You can tell she looks much more uncomfortable in interviews now then a few years ago."

After the things she said and implied about 'being forced to stay in certain parts of the country', do you really think we should care one way or the other how comfortable she is is in interviews?

Honestly, I would rather watch the chrome on the rear bumper of my pickup truck turn to rust than see/hear her in an interview.

Charlize isn’t taking the kids to an inner city either. This is the woman who has talked about being terrified her newly adopted daughter was not going to survive being inside her own home afterall. I would bet a lot that she split from Penn after learning he was working on the El Chapo documentary. It is also why she is so obsessed with guns and school shootings. She has seen too many killings in real life to think differently.

Anyone who spends time willingly in the company of Sean Penn should be afraid of Sean Penn, not American Society.

She needs to get out of her comfort zone I agree. Charlize is very comfortable around Sean because they have been good friends for years, and will probably get back together after this El Chapo thing blows over, but for all her world travels unfortunately she has never traveled around this country.

Charlize should stay put if she is going to demean a section of the country where people don't agree with her view of things.

I don't think she is rational enough to appreciate folks who are good but disagree with her on politics. This comes from being in the company of a miscreant like Sean Penn all this time.

Sean certainly appreciates that white Republicans who watch Fox may disagree with him but can be “as nice as can be” when talking in person because he has related those types of incidences. She doesn’t have that personally experience most likely is the difference.

Should be one of the biggest hits

Shouldn’t that be with a t.

spelling is important here at FR.com, as are commas and grammar.
