What is 2019 Lionsgate Films Bombshell?

In 2019, Lionsgate Films released the highly anticipated film "Bombshell," which was based on the real-life sexual harassment scandal that rocked Fox News in 2016. The film follows the story of several women who come forward to expose their boss, Roger Ailes, for his inappropriate and lewd behavior towards them.

The leading roles were played by Charlize Theron, Nicole Kidman, and Margot Robbie, who delivered stunning performances that earned them critical acclaim and nominations for various awards.

Theron plays the role of Megyn Kelly, a Fox News anchor who became a central figure in the scandal, while Kidman portrays Gretchen Carlson, another anchor who was fired from her job after speaking out against Ailes. Robbie plays the fictional character of Kayla Pospisil, a young and ambitious producer who gets caught in Ailes' web of harassments.

The film was directed by Jay Roach, who is known for his work on other politically charged films such as "Recount" and "Game Change." The script was written by Charles Randolph, who won an Academy Award for his work on "The Big Short," another film that tackled a complex issue.

Overall, "Bombshell" proved to be a powerful and timely film that addressed issues such as sexual harassment, abuse of power, and the courage it takes for women to speak up against it. The film was a box office success and received several award nominations, including three Academy Award nominations for Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress, and Best Makeup and Hairstyling.
