Bombshell Teaser: Charlize Theron is a Spitting Image of Fox News’ Megyn Kelly; Nicole Kidman and Margot Robbie Also Star in the Scandal Drama
Charlize Theron, Nicole Kidman and Margot Robbie are all set to present one of the biggest scandals from the media industry relating to Fox News in their upcoming film Bombshell. A teaser of the film has now been released with Theron looking a spitting image of former Fox employee Megyn Kelly who was crucial in taking down Fox CEO.
The teaser trailer of Bombshell dropped recently featuring three of Hollywood's most powerful actresses, Charlize Theron, Nicole Kidman and Margot Robbie. The film revolves around the scandal of the toxic, sexist environment at Fox News for women, including former-employees Megyn Kelly (played by Charlize Theron) and Gretchen Carlson (Nicole Kidman), and a fictional character of an associate producer named Kayla Pospisil (Margot Robbie) who stood up against the corporation. Within seconds of the trailer, you'll find yourself shocked to see Theron as you hardly recognise her. She is a spitting image of Kelly and kudos to the make-up department on that. Charlize Theron Reveals her 7 Year Old Child, Jackson is a Transgender and is Now Being Raised as a Girl.
The trailer features Margot getting into an elevator as she is stealing glances from everyone. In the elevator, we also see Theron and Kidman. The awkward silences and tense stares prevail in the elevator the whole time as the words "based on the real scandal" appear on-screen. “Hot in here,” Kidman says before exiting and that's that. As minimal as this trailer has to offer with its dialogues, the ladies make-up with their expressions.
