Bombshell trailer – Theron, Kidman and Robbie play out Fox News scandal

By Ryan Keating-Lambert

A new trailer has dropped for Bombshell, the new film on the Fox News scandal which is set to take the Oscars by storm. And yes, there’s already a TV series with Russell Crowe about the same thing… but that one’s not very good.

Directed by Jay Roach (Trumbo) and written by Charles Randolph (The Big Short), Bombshell follows the real-life sex scandal that a group of women, including Megyn Kelly (Charlize Theron) and Gretchen Carlson (Nicole Kidman), led against Fox News boss Roger Ailes (John Lithgow) in 2016.

The film also stars Margot Robbie as fictional producer Kayla Pospisil (I believe that’s a Czech surname!) and Oscar buzz is already surrounding her and Theron’s performance.

Director Jay Roach appears to know what he’s doing with this one as he’s already portrayed similar issues for HBO dramas Recount and Sarah Palin drama Game Change.

Bombshell will hit Czech cinemas January 2.
