Margot Robbie Gets Foul Mouthed As Tonya Harding In Behind-The-Scenes Footage From 'I, Tonya'

When Margot Robbie was cast as disgraced U.S. Olympic figure skater Tonya Harding in the amusingly titled “I, Tonya” it was mostly seen as a curiosity. But when cameras recently started rolling, and set pictures emerged of Robbie transformed into the personality, the buzz was nearly instantaneous. And now the first footage has landed from behind-the-scenes of Robbie channeling the brassy athlete.

Craig Gillespie (“Lars and The Real Girl,” “Fright Night,” “Their Finest Hours”) is directing the movie that also features Sebastian Stan as Jeff Gilloly and Caitlin Carver as Nancy Kerrigan, in the story of Harding, an outsider who broke into the exclusive world of Olympic athletes. Adding a dose of authenticity is input from Harding and Gilloly on the script by Steve Rogers. And certainly, as you’ll see from Robbie below, she doesn’t hold back on Harding’s tough personality.

No release date yet for this one, but Miramax has the rights, and I’d expect it to land in 2018. [ET Canada]
