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.

Erik Anderson is the founder/owner and Editor-in-Chief of AwardsWatch and has always loved all things Oscar, having watched the Academy Awards since he was in single digits; making lists, rankings and predictions throughout the show. This led him down the path to obsessing about awards. Much later, he found himself in film school and the film forums of GoldDerby, and then migrated over to the former Oscarwatch (now AwardsDaily), before breaking off to create AwardsWatch in 2013. He is a Rotten Tomatoes-approved critic, accredited by the Cannes Film Festival, Telluride Film Festival, Toronto International Film Festival and more, is a member of the International Cinephile Society (ICS), The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics (GALECA), Hollywood Critics Association (HCA) and the International Press Academy. Among his many achieved goals with AwardsWatch, he has given a platform to underrepresented writers and critics and supplied them with access to film festivals and the industry and calls the Bay Area his home where he lives with his husband and son.
