Roger Ailes, Megyn Kelly Movie in the Works

• http://www.thewrap.com,

Annapurna Pictures has acquired a pitch about the alleged sexual misconduct perpetrated by former Fox News chairman Roger Ailes and has put the movie on the fast track, TheWrap has learned.

Charles Randolph, who co-wrote "The Big Short" with Adam McKay, sold his script to Megan Ellison's production company this week. Ellison will produce alongside Margaret Riley. Randolph is also attached to produce.

The film will focus on Megyn Kelly and other women at Fox News who accused the bombastic chairman of numerous incidents of sexual misconduct and assault. Former Fox News anchor Gretchen Carlson filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against Ailes in July, opening the floodgates for others to come out with allegations of their own. Kelly told Fox executives that she, too, had been subject to sexual harassment from Ailes and, two days after, the face of Fox News resigned from the company.
