Julia Roberts is transformed in first trailer for Gaslit playing Watergate whistleblower Margaret Mitchell
THE first-look trailer for Gaslit has finally dropped – and actress Julia Roberts looks almost unrecognisable in her new role.
The Watergate scandal gets a whole new perspective for the upcoming Starz series Gaslit, starring Julia and Sean Penn.
The show is said to be, “a modern take on Watergate that focuses on the untold stories and forgotten characters of the scandal.”
The trailer begins with whistleblower Margaret Mitchell being introduced as cameras are flashed.
A man is then heard asking: “You are the first person to publicly accuse the President for the Watergate break-in. Are you crazy?”
In blunt fashion, Julia's character responds: “I'm a Southern woman, we speak our minds, we talk. I never stop talking."
The interviewer replies: “I bet your husband loves that,” and she wistfully responds: “Without missing a beat. He takes it in stride.”
The trailer winds down with shots of the other cast members such as Dan Stevens as White House Counsel John Dean, Betty Gilpin as his wife Mo Dean and Whigham as Liddy, the chief operative of Nixon's White House Plumbers spy unit.
A number of other dramatic shots are shown before John Mitchell tells Margaret: "Nobody gives a damn what you think."

The final shot of the trailer shows Margaret in front of some sort of panel where a man asks her: “Why risk your husband's position?”
“Because it's the truth,” she says, as the trailer comes to a dramatic end.
Gaslit will debut on Sunday, April 24 on Starz.
