The Hollywood Reporter says Margot Robbie will join Charlize Theronand Nicole Kidman as they star in Annapurna Pictures’ upcoming film about the toxic workplace culture at Fox News.

The film will be directed by Jay Roach, known for his comedy works like the Austin Powers movies, along with more serious projects like Trumbo, Game Change, and Recount. The script will be written by Charles Randolph, who rose to prominence with his Oscar-winning screenplay for The Big Short.
