The Tony and Emmy winner joins a cast of heavyweights that includes Nicole Kidman, Margot Robbie, and Charlize Theron. The currently untitled film focuses on Ailes’ downfall, zeroing in on a group of female employees who bucked the culture of sexism at the network to oust the news baron from power.

I didn't even know a Foxs News Movie was a thing. I wonder how it'll portray the ne- er, entertainment network.

Is anyone going to watch this?

Conservatives are going to hate it and I doubt liberals are going to enjoy the humanizing of Fox News employees.

If its written by the guy who wrote The Big Short, I doubt it'll be painting Fox News employees in a very good light lol

Im pretty sure that some of the accusors still work there though.

Jon Lithgow is a great actor, he played the best antagonist in Dexter.

Not sure what you mean tbh

A fox news movie?

[TheTalon]

He's versatile as fuck, too

He was the bad guy in Cliffhanger, played it pretty well, then he was the insanely goofy Dick Solomon in 3rd Rock

I need Lithgow to play Ailes like John Whorfin from Buckaroo Banzai while everyone else around him plays it straight.
