Over on AwardsWatch someone was talking about certain parts of the script (they managed to get ahold of a copy); this has the potential to be a complete disaster. For example: ...ouch sounds like Randolph picked up some bad habits from McKay.

They're trying to pull a VICE by releasing it so late in the year. I don't think it's going to work this time around.

...ouch sounds like Randolph picked up some bad habits from McKay. Randolph? talking about the screenwriter Charles Randolph. He wrote Big Short and he also wrote this.

Wow, it doesn't seem comedic/satirical at all. Theron is scarily transformed. Robbie brought a touch of vulnerability in this teaser. I liked the sense of tension here. Not enough at all to judge, but not what I was expecting.

I just don't get this film or movies made on these type of subjects - it's like let's take 3 talented actresses and get them to look and act like 2 other famous news reporters and that's our movie.
I don't really get where the drama is - the audience knows exactly what to feel, you know what buttons your pushing exactly (she looks just like Megyn Kelly!) - rinse, dry, repeat.
This is a book to me not a movie .........There's no need for an audience at all really for what I like about movies. Do these movies ever work?

Can't really say much about this as it's obviously just a teaser.But I will say that people should start bumping up Charlize Theron on their Best Actress predictions....and it has fuck all to do with her acting. That make-up transformation is so good, and makes her look so much like the real Megyn Kelly, that Theron will get a lot of automatic votes even if her performance is just so-so. Wheras Kidman and Robbie have not been made to look virtually unrecognisable from themselves, so they really have to bring it acting wise.

Just a teaser, nothing there really to actually judge.
Anyway, the cast and director are solid so I'm looking forward to this.

this movie will surely be dogshit but gotta say, holy shit, give the makeup Oscar now to whoever did this movie, since theron doesn't look like herself at all, eerily close to megyn kelly and i rarely see the "real person" being portrayed over the actor playing them.

Robbie, Kidman and .... wtf. She looks like the Michelle Williams character in The Congress who had a glitch in the eye, so either we’re in that era or kindness incarnated aka Hollywood, now cast... entities from Area 51

Everything I’ve heard about this points to it being a disaster. Also Charlize Theron has to be one of the most overrated actresses alive, let’s hear her speak first before we start predicting her for any awards.

ok first of all, hate the new title (can we stop with these basic one-word titles please? Fair and Balanced was perfect...Bombshell sounds like a Melissa McCarthy comedy).
Secondly, yes it's definitely going to be straight drama and not comedy/satire (Stephen Root confirmed that on Marc Maron's podcast a week ago and this teaser proves it).
Thirdly, this looks like it potentially be really good and a major player, especially for the acting. Theron and Robbie are moving up in my predictions. Screenplay might also be a strong new contender. The fact that it's going to be straight drama changes everything and caught me totally by surprise. Maybe it means nothing but we'll see. At the very least I think it means something for Theron.
I'm actually suddenly excited for this.

Tbh I feel Theron is kinda..kinda underrated in a sense that I've hardly seen people list her among the best actresses currently working, which she is. I think time and again she's proven that with films like Young Adult, Mad Max, Tully, and even rom coms like Long Shot. Love her and this looks amazing!
And I haven't seen Loudest Voice but from the clips, Watts looked fantastic as Gretchen and so does Nicole in this! I hate how people are dissing Naomi on Twitter calling her a discount Nicole 😡 They are both amazing.
And coming to this teaser, I loved it. They all look so good esp Robbie.

Sorry ‘bout it. www.salon.com/2019/08/11/the-loudest-voice-in-the-room-ends-up-belonging-to-naomi-watts-gretchen-carlson/Watts received much praise for her work on the show. Crowe as well! They will not be ignored come awards season. Also, not a flop! The ratings steadily improved and it still has some buzz. Kidman will be competitive for an Emmy? Unless this film ends up on Lifetime ala Grace of Monaco I don’t think so. Unless you’re talking about the new BLL? I don’t see the relevance of bringing that up here!

I was just bringing up her amazing overall success, career renaissance and the fact that this is sure to do better than that show since you’re obviously pressed.
