Margot Robbie Biopic About Tonya Harding Goes to Miramax

“Suicide Squad” star will play disgraced Olympic figure skater

Miramax has scooped up U.S. distribution rights to “I, Tonya,” a Black List script from Steven Rogers starring “Suicide Squad’s” Margot Robbie as Tonya Harding, the figure skater who was banned for life following an attack on rival Nancy Kerrigan perpetrated by Harding’s ex-husband and bodyguard.

“Miramax is thrilled to be working on this exciting project with such a tremendous group, led by the incredibly talented Margot Robbie, the unique directing vision of Craig Gillespie, Steven Rogers’ exquisite writing talent, and the wonderfully passionate producers Bryan Unkeless and Tom Ackerley,” Zanne Devine, Head of Film and TV at Miramax said in the statement.
