Television host Megyn Kelly will be getting the big-screen Hollywood treatment in the near future.
Academy Award winner Charlize Theron will take on the lead role of Kelly in an upcoming film focused on the ex-Fox News host’s friction with the late CEO of Fox News, Roger Ailes, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Kelly was one of many to accuse him of sexual harassment — accusations that led the media mogul to resign from Fox in July of 2016.
Considering the director of this upcoming film is Jay Roach, potential viewers should be prepared for a leftist lovefest. Roach’s filmography includes such hit pieces against conservatives as “Game Change,” which retold the story of the 2008 presidential election — and “Recount,” which retold the story of the controversial results of the 2000 presidential election.
This new film is also being produced by Annapurna, a company that is also working on a biopic of former Vice President Dick Cheney.
Kelly has become quite a controversial figure since leaving Fox News. Her journalistic standards have come into question more than once.
This upcoming film will no doubt avoid such petty details — in favor of the grander goal of trying, as hard as it can, to take down Fox News.
