Nicole Kidman is in talks to play Fox News anchor Gretchen Carlson in Annapurna's upcoming drama film on Roger Ailes, 'Fair and Balanced.' If the actress comes onboard, she will be joining Margot Robbie and Charlize Theron in the Jay Roach-helmed movie; Theron will play former Fox host Megyn Kelly while Robbie is slated to portray an associate producer at the news network. The film is set to chiefly revolve around the sexual allegations against the then Fox News chairman Ailes, who had apparently helped launch the careers of some of TV's most popular faces like Megyn Kelly and Sean Hannity along with Carlson.
