Nicole Kidman is reportedly in talks to play former Fox News anchor Gretchen Carlson in a movie about the network’s disgraced and now-deceased chairman Roger Ailes.
In a story first reported by Variety, Kidman may play Carlson in “Fair And Balanced,” an upcoming film about Ailes’ troublesome legacy at the Fox as seen through the eyes of the women who worked with him.
Since then, she has become an outspoken anti-sexual harassment advocate.
Carlson commented on the possible casting move Wednesday on Twitter:
As the first person to take the risk - it also means I can’t share all of the details of what really happened, so I hope the true story is depicted. The most important thing is that so many more women are now believed and have been given a voice. #BeFierce#StopSexualHarassmenthttps://t.co/S2ZyjruC66
“Austin Powers” director Jay Roach is set to lead the film, which will featureCharlize Theron as former Fox anchor Megyn Kelly. In her memoir, Kelly accused Ailes of sexually harassing her when she was at the network.
