Yeah, this is probably gonna flop regardless. I'll be impressed if it even approaches Vice's mediocre numbers.

The reaction from Fox News will probably be a lot more entertaining then the movie itself.

Lithgow as Ailes? 😕

were Oldman, Bale, or Simon Russell Beale unavailable?

John Lithgow is a great actor, what are you talking about?

That's going to be some insane make-up work to make him look like the guy he's supposed to be playing

Theron as Megyn is spot-on comparatively

[Rebeccas]

Disappointed that there's no Steve Doucey in the cast.

[Ryan Reynolds]

the perfect movie to watch this Christmas with the family

And "THe Loudest Voice" the Showtime mini series about Roger Ailes and Fox News, with Russel Crowe as Ailes, premiers this month on Showtime and Showtime is really pushing it very heavily. And from the trailers it will cover a lot of the same material. Not good for "Fair and Balanced". Even with a big name cast, it's hard to sell people something they just saw for free a few months ago.

Does anyone care about this movie anymore after watching The Loudest Voice?

@DeeCee this can go to the main section.

 

That's a well-done trailer. Hopefully it's better than Vice (the movie it'll probably end up compared to the most) was.

 

Also, it really is amazing how much Charlize resembles Kelly.

[TMP]

Looks bad.

[filmlover]

I will say no matter the quality of this, it's certain to flop hard at the box office. Vice sorta tanked and that had much more going for it on paper. Nobody wants to venture out to a theater to see something like this, especially not around the holidays.

Why all the comparisons to Vice in this thread - other than release date? Completely unrelated story, different people involved, Vice was sold as a comedy, haven't seen the trailer for this but I'm assuming this is being sold as a drama.

 

Not to mention Vice was Annapurna, this is now being distributed by lionsgate. Also this almost certainly doesn't have the insane price tag of VICE.

Yeah this movie has no audience at all.

[CoolioD1]

that's a great teaser. maybe my favourite i've seen all year.

 

but still... jay roach.

[thedast]

Never heard about this today and while I don't care at aaalll about Fox News drama this a good ass teaser and great cast. Color me intrigued. If they can make the full trailer just as good I might see it.

[Krissykins]

That’s the best trailer of any 2019 release. 

 

Had no idea this was a thing. 

 

Charlize!! I had no idea it was her until her name came up. Amazing transformation. 

[CJohn]

I do not believe that is Charlize Theron. That is Megyn Kelly pretending to be Charlize Theron playing Megyn Kelly.
