The film is described mostly as an ensemble piece, with the majority of the focus being on former Fox News chief Roger Ailes (John Lithgow, The Crown) and his ultimate downfall that came about after a number of women, including Gretchen Carlson (Nicole Kidman) and Megyn Kelly (Charlize Theron), sued him for harassment.
Following the recent casting of Rob Delaney (Deadpool 2), Deadline reports that The Help star Ahna O’Reilly has been tapped to play former Fox News Correspondent Julie Roginsky for director Jay Roach’s upcoming Roger Ailes biopic Fair and Balanced.
Roginsky was one of the women who filed a lawsuit against Ailes for sexual harassment.
Ailes was fired from Fox News within weeks of Carlson’s suit after several more women came forward with similar allegations of sexual misconduct.
