Fox News may soon hit the big screen.

Margot Robbie is also said to be circling the project playing a producer.

On Wednesday, Carlson tweeted her support saying, "As the first person to take the risk - it also means I can't share all of the details of what really happened, so I hope the true story is depicted. The most important thing is that so many more women are now believed and have been given a voice."

In July, Fox News chairman Roger Ailes resigned amid the allegations of sexual harassment from Carlson.

It's possible we could see the film in theatres next year.

The women behind the #MeToo movement were named Time magazine's 2017 person of the year.
