(2019)
Regisseur:
Tom McCarthy, Gabriel ShermanSchauspieler:
Aleksa Palladino, Russell Crowe, Sienna Miller, Seth MacFarlane, Annabelle Wallis, Simon McBurney, Naomi WattsDie Showtime-Serie The Loudest Voice will den Wurzeln des rechtskonservativen Nachrichtensenders Fox News auf den Leim fühlen. Dazu wurde der Oscarpreisträger Russell Crowe verpflichtet, damit er die Titelfigur Roger Ailes spielen kann, der Fox News einst gründete. Sieben Episoden umfasst die Miniserie.
In today's politically charged media landscape, no figure looms larger, even after his passing, than Roger Ailes, molding Fox News into a force that irrevocably impacted the highest levels of government. To understand the events that led to the rise of Donald Trump, one must understand Ailes. The Loudest Voice takes on that challenge, focusing primarily on the past decade in which Ailes arguably became the Republican Party's de facto leader, while also touching on defining events in Ailes' life, including an initial meeting with Richard Nixon on the set of The Mike Douglas Show that gave birth to Ailes' political career and also including the sexual harassment accusations and settlements that brought his Fox News reign to an end. Told through multiple points of view, the limited series aims to shed light on the psychology that drives the political process from the top down.
