Charlize Theron Is Lensed By Zoey Grossman For ELLE US 'Women In Hollywood' November 2018 Issue

Charlize Theron is one of the cover stars of ELLE US’s annual ‘Women in Hollywood’ issue. Leslie Fremar styles Theron in looks from Chloe, Louis Vuitton and more for images shot by Zoey Grossman.

In her interview ‘Charlize Theron Wants To Bring Important Narratives To The Big Screen’ , we learn that Theron founded Denver and Delilah Productions (named for the 43-year-old actress’s dogs), in part to champion messy, complicated women.

Theron enjoys playing those roles as an actor, although it’s doubtful that Megyn Kelly — who Theron plays in an upcoming biopic biopic of the former Fox News host now at NBC — considers herself to be a messy, complicated woman. The Kelly character is part of a movie on Fox News founder Roger Ailes, produced by Annapurna Pictures.

Here’s the back story before news in the last 24 hrs.

After one of the early Republican primary debates in the 2016 US presidential election, Donald Trump infamously declared that Megyn Kelly, who anchored the debate, “Had blood coming out of her eyes” when she aggressively questioned him.

"She gets out and she starts asking me all sorts of ridiculous questions," Trump said in a CNN interview after the debate. "You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever. In my opinion, she was off base."

On Wednesday, October 10, Annapurna Pictures announced that it was dumping the movie two weeks before production was to start. It's unclear why the project, to be directed by Jay Roach, was dropped. Charlize Theron was joined in the all-star cast by Nicole Kidman, Margot Robbie and John Lithgow, who was set to play Ailes. Malcolm McDowell was slated to play Rupert Murdoch.

This morning , The Hollywood Reporter says that Bron Studios, the Canada-based company behind ‘Fences’ and ‘The Birth of a Nation’, has come on to co-finance production, sources say, while Focus Features, Amblin and Participant Media are in the mix to acquire.
