BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE Featurette

Movie Review: I, TONYA

Margot Robbie is a triumph in this film Based on the unbelievable, but true events, I, TONYA is a darkly comedic tale of American figure skater, Tonya Harding, and one of the most sensational scandals in sports history. Though Harding was the first American woman to complete a triple axel in competition, her legacy was forever defined by her association with an infamous, ill-conceived, and even more poorly executed attack on fellow Olympic competitor Nancy Kerrigan. Featuring an iconic turn by Margot Robbie as the fiery Harding, a mustachioed Sebastian Stan as her impetuous ex-husband Jeff Gillooly, and a tour-de-force performance from Allison Janney as her acid-tongued mother, LaVona Golden, Craig Gillespie’s I, TONYA is an absurd, irreverent, and piercing portrayal of Harding’s life and career in all of its unchecked––and checkered––glory.

Sebastian Stan Joins Margot Robbie In "I, Tonya"

Put together by Margot Robbie as one of the projects from her production company, Tonya Harding pic I, Tonya is now aiming to shoot soon, with Craig Gillespie in the director's seat. And they've found someone for a key role in the story: Sebastian Stan will be Harding's ex-husband Jeff Gillooly. Initially viewed as a plucky underdog who'd escaped grinding poverty to rise to the top of the figure-skating world, Harding famously went full Seagal on her closest rival at a championships in Detroit.
