A new movie dramatizing the lead up to the Supreme Court’s landmark decision about abortion rights in Roe v. Wade will feature conservative provocateurs Milo Yiannopoulos and Tomi Lahren.
The news was first reported Friday by the Daily Beast, which published details from an advance copy of the script.
Lahren will have a cameo role playing Sally Blackmun, who spars with her father, Supreme Court Justice Harry Blackmun, the judge who authored the court’s decision in Roe. Yiannopoulos will play a British abortion provider who performs “32 abortions in five hours,” according to the Beast.
The film includes graphic images, including a scene with “a dozen buckets of tiny fetuses and baby parts” in a hotel room, according to the script the Beast obtained.
The movie comes at an awkward time professionally for both Yiannopoulos and Lahren. The former Breitbart tech editor has kept a low profile since calling for journalists to be gunned down just days before the Capital Gazette shooting in Annapolis, which left multiple journalists dead. Lahren, meanwhile, is facing awkward questions about why she is starring as a pro-life character after she left TheBlaze over pro-choice views and is against overturning Roe v Wade.
“I am someone that loves the Constitution. I am someone that is for limited government. So I can’t sit here and be a hypocrite and say I’m for limited government but I think that the government should decide what women do with their bodies,” Lahren said on “The View” in March 2017. “Stay out of my guns, and you can stay out of my body as well.”
The film, which does not have a formal release date, will also star William Forsythe, Stacey Dash, Steven Guttenberg and Jon Voight.
Fox News' Jesse Watters: His 10 Most Offensive Moments (Videos)
Shortly after O'Reilly was ousted from Fox News, Watters took his own vacation from the network after coming under fire for making a comment about First Daughter Ivanka Trump, which some interpreted as inappropriate sexual innuendo.
Watters' recurring segment on "The O'Reilly Factor" involved sending the host out to various events and locations across the country for man-on-the-street style interviews that mock various cultural subgroups in their own communities. In a 2016 segment, Watters went after Italian Americans at the Feast of San Gennaro festival.
One of Watters' most controversial segments came in the form of a 2016 venture into New York's Chinatown. In the heavily criticized piece, Watters turned his signature schtick on Chinese Americans, resulting in a blatantly racist segment that played on Asian stereotypes and openly mocked its subjects.
Watters' October 2016 venture to the Amish community in Pennsylvania was turned into one recurring punchline -- over the fact that the Amish don't vote or pay much attention to presidential politics. "Lucky you," he tells several people.
In 2007, O'Reilly sent Watters to ambush Bill Moyers in the street after the PBS host released a documentary criticizing the Bush administration for the Iraq War. Bill O'Reilly would later go on to call that segment a contributing factor in Moyers' decision to retire.

In 2015, Watters went to Penn Station to criticize the "rise of homelessness" in New York City, pointedly asking those sleeping at the station about their drug habits and what they did to make money on the streets.
On the anniversary of 9/11, Watters went to a convention for Muslim Americans to ask them about terrorism and Islamic radicals. When a woman criticized the media for linking terrorism to the Islamic religion, Watters and O'Reilly both balked at the suggestion that "Christian terrorism" could even exist.
In 2009, Amanda Terkel, then the managing editor of Think Progress, wrote a column in which she said she was "followed, harassed, and ambushed" by Watters while on vacation after she ran a column criticizing Bill O'Reilly for his comments toward rape survivors.
Watters was caught on video getting into a fight at the 2016 White House Correspondents' Dinner afterparty with The Huffington Post's Ryan Grim. It was later reported that Grim approached Watters with a camera asking him to apologize to Terkel for his behavior in 2009.
O'Reilly sent Watters to Philadelphia for a tone-deaf segment about racism in which he mocked the Black Lives Matter movement, criticized political correctness and generally failed to elevate the conversation surrounding race relations in America.
