Charlize Theron, Nicole Kidman and Margot Robbie in teaser for Fox News drama ‘Bombshell’

The first teaser for the newly titled Bombshell has arrived.

The film stars Charlize Theron as Megyn Kelly, Nicole Kidman as Gretchen Carlson and Margot Robbie as Kayla Pospisil who decide to take on Fox News boss Roger Ailes and the toxic male culture he presided over at the network.

Adding to this already star and awards-packed cast are Alanna Ubach as “Judge” Jeanine Pirro, Connie Britton, Kate McKinnon, Stephen Root, Academy Award winner Allison Janney and Academy Award nominee John Lithgow as Ailes.

Bombshell (formerly, but not officially, known as Fair and Balanced) is written by Charles Randolph and directed by Jay Roach (Trumbo, Game Change) and set for release on December 20 from Lionsgate. The film began production at Annapurna but was dropped just days before production was about to begin and was one of a few projects sold off by the struggling studio.

Here is your first look.
