Film company Annapurna Pictures has decided to assemble one of the most powerful cast in the history of modern Hollywood. As it became known to The Hollywood Reporter, the third Oscar winner has joined the biographical drama "Just and Weighted". Charlize Theron and Nicole Kidman will be joining the film's superstar team with Allison Jenny (Tonya Vs All).Jay Roach's painting will shed light on a massive scandal involving former Fox News chief Roger Ayles, who has received numerous accusations of sexual harassment from his own employees. Two-time Academy Award nominee John Lithgow will portray the media mogul. Theron and Kidman will play TV presenters Megyn Kelly and Gretchen Carlson, respectively. Oscar-nominated Margot Robbie, who won the role of Fox News producer Kayla Pospisil, will also take part in the film. As for Allison Jenny, she will have to embody the image of the lawyer Susan Estrich, who represented the interests of Ailes. For many years, Estrich was considered an implacable fighter for women's rights, but in 2016 she came under a flurry of criticism from feminists when she had to speak out against journalist Gabriel Sherman, who published dirt on her client.  In the coming weeks, some more high-profile casting news will surely come from the camp of the ambitious film project.
