Malcolm McDowell has signed on to play Rupert Murdoch in Annapurna’s upcoming Roger Ailes biopic Fair and Balanced, per Variety.
Ailes was fired from Fox News within weeks of Carlson’s suit after several more women came forward with similar allegations of sexual misconduct.
Murdoch, who put Ailes in charge of the network in 1996, was one of the news chief’s strongest supporters, though he ultimately made the decision to fire Ailes.
Other characters that will be included in the film are former anchor Greta Van Susteren and former host Bill O’Reilly.
