Just a teaser trailer, but man does Charlize Theron ever look like Megyn Kelly in this.

Just finished "The Loudest Voice" last night. It was pretty good and touches on this subject, of course, quite a bit.

Russell Crowe played Roger Ailes very well. We'll see how John Lithgow does.

Kind of creepy how much she looks like her.

Crowe sound too much like Crowe which really took away from an otherwise excellent performance and physical change imo. Ailes had a much higher pitched, whinier voice that made him look even more pathetic and sad. Given how well Lihgow played Churchill in The Crown, I think he will be just fine in this role.

Is there enough of a story for a 2 hour movie?

I mean we did just watch a solid 2 minutes of 3 people silently being in an elevator.

I'm sure there's probably more than enough. Now, whether the story is constructed in a way that's intriguing for 2 hours is a different story.

Definitely. I don't even know all the details but what I do know sounds enough.

Not fussy on the 2nd trailer. It's not funny. Not compelling. Seems overdone...



I had to sleep my way to the top but you don't hear me complaining!

 

[Trap Jesus]

These are the least compelling movies to me. Overly dramatizing a story that wouldn't usually translate to the screen well. Just find them so unbelievably boring.

 

[Newsworthy]

Nicole is "To Die For" and one of my favorite actresses all time.

 

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

Story seems interesting enough that I’ll want to see it.

Hate that trailer, though.

I can't tell from the trailer if it's an interesting story or just Fox hating porn.

Yes.

Men are evil. Women are victims. We've been there too many times recently for me to find it interesting.

Yes x 2.

Kate McKinnon speech at the beginning of the trailer made me wonder the exact same thing.

Fox is a piece of shit network though so even if it is Fox hating it's probably all true.

 

[bleedblue1223]

Fox is a piece of **** network though so even if it is Fox hating it's probably all true.

Not saying it would all be false, but I feel like a Weinstein movie would be more interesting, Hollywood won't touch that one though.

You hate Fox, so if the film hates Fox, everything in it is probably true. That's a sad summary of our political climate.

Not until all the trials are finished. That could take a while.

Except the events have been covered closely in real life and we know them to be true.

I was using his language but referring to the accuracy of the portrayal. Everything in a movie might be true without it being the whole truth. Movies based on true stories are notorious at that. It's easy to make someone or something look better or worse by choosing which truths to focus on and which to downplay or omit.

I don't hate fox, fox is objectively a piece of shit network. It's not about like/dislike.

Also, you're other post I agree with that there will be the typical storytelling liberties. They already invented Margot Robbie's character.

Not saying it would all be false, but I feel like a Weinstein movie would be more interesting, Hollywood won't touch that one though.

I agree that could be even more interesting.

 

[bleedblue1223]

And instead of just a Fox News bad type movie, tying in the Matt Lauer stuff and the industry in general would make for a more impactful movie IMO.

Agree.

Either way, my guess, Bombshell will feel like a Made For TV movie - which it probably should have been.
