Op-Ed: Bombshell trailer expands on the Fox News palace intrigue

There is an awful lot of content out there right now if you’re captivated by media celebrities and the gossip factory built around them. A teaser was just released for a new film titled Bombshell, and it’s taking audiences inside the halls of Fox News during the height of scandal involving the late CEO and chairman, Roger Ailes. In the trailer we see Megyn Kelly portrayed by Charlize Theron and Gretchen Carlson played by Nicole Kidman, finding themselves awkwardly sharing the same elevator. The tension is enough to make anyone uncomfortable. Slated for release on Dec. 20, Bombshell is no doubt going to focus on the mountain of sexual harassment claims against Ailes, and bring to theaters the same drama being portrayed in Showtime’s series The Loudest Voice.
