FAIR AND BALANCED HAS A DATE...AND SOME INTEREST?
A number of outlets reported earlier this week that Lionsgate has dated Jay Roach's Fair and Balanced for release on Dec. 20th. Fair and Balanced explores the world of Fox News and its former head Roger Ailes and the charges of sexual harassment that were raised by some of the women that worked there.
John Lithgow has been cast as Ailes with Charlize Theron plays Megan Kelly and Nicole Kidman plays Gretchen Carlson among an all star cast.
Of particular note here was a tweet from the Ioncinema account that suggested that the fall fests, including Telluride, are interested in the film. Here's a shot of the tweet from Ioncinema:
But I also saw a couple of other mentions on social media that suggested that the film, with the Dec. 20th release date was more likely to skip all the fall fest circuit and go with the late 2019 release strategy a la Vice.
I have included a couple of articles here that provide some detail about the release date announcement.
