Roger Ailes' Shakespearean exit from Fox News may be made into a feature film.

According to multiple reports, Annapurna Pictures has optioned a project about the former Fox News chairman that will include screenwriter Charles Randolph, who co-wrote the Oscar-winning The Big Short.

Annapurna is run by Megan Ellison (daughter of Oracle founder Larry Ellison), whose studio has produced films such as Foxcatcher, Zero Dark Thirty, American Hustle and The Master.

The film "will focus on Megyn Kelly and the women who brought down the man once considered the most powerful in media with accusations of sexual harassment, as well as the wife, Elizabeth Tilson, who propped him up," says The Hollywood Reporter.

Varietysays the project does not yet have a director or completed script.

A representative for Kelly said she has nothing to do with the project. According to THR, the film project uses The Loudest Voice in the Room, by New York magazine's Gabriel Sherman, as its source material. Sherman closely chronicled Ailes' exit from Fox News last summer.

Kelly joined Fox News in 2004, and was a pivotal figure in Ailes' departure. After Gretchen Carlson's bombshell lawsuit against Ailes that forced his ouster, Kelly told Fox News she had also been subject to sexual harassment at the hands of her boss, earlier in her career.

"When it happened to me, I did bring it to a supervisor, which is what you're supposed to do. I knew very well what my legal rights and obligations were, but let me just start with this: ... So many ask, "Why didn't you report it sooner?" Kelly told NPR's Terry Gross recently on Fresh Air.

"The problem that we had at Fox, like so many other companies in America right now, was that there was not a safe avenue for reporting. Here was the CEO and chairman of the board, (listed) on industry publications as the most powerful man in news, harassing young women in the company like myself who had been there for 12 months, and who typically were in a vulnerable position."

In her new book Settle for More, Kelly gives a detailed an account of the sexual harassment she allegedly endured at the hands of Ailes, including in incident where he tried to grab her repeatedly and kiss her on the lips.

Trump talk gets Megyn Kelly booed in Hollywood

Ailes stepped down in July. He has denied all charges against him.

And this week, at a Hollywood breakfast celebrating powerful women, Kelly praised her colleagues, saying the women of Fox News "with their stiletto shoes and nerves of steel, formed an underground army of sorts, and at great risk to their livelihoods, brought down a very powerful serial sexual harasser."

At the same breakfast, Kelly was lightly booed for praising Trump.
