For you youngsters out there, this won?t be a very big deal. But if you were around in the early 1990s, this is a BFD. Hollywood has finally decided to make a movie about Tonya Harding. Like, everything about Tonya Harding during the 1994 Olympics, and before and after. It was one of the craziest Olympic stories of all time, basically. Tonya Harding was the hard-scrabble ice skater who was looking to dethrone Nancy Kerrigan as America?s Ice Princess. Harding was actually more accomplished than Kerrigan, but Kerrigan got most of the press and attention because she ?looked the part? of an ice princess. So Tonya and her husband hired some goons to take Kerrigan out of the competition. What?s amazing about this is that the story will be told through Tonya Harding?s perspective, and Harding actually worked with the screenwriter to get the authenticity of the story. And Deadline reports that Margot Robbie is now attached to play Harding. Which? I mean, I think that?s perfect. Truly.
Margot Robbie has come attached to I, Tonya, a script by Steven Rogers about the crazy story of Tonya Harding. Remember her? She was the ice princess who emerged from a poor upbringing and rough childhood in Portland, OR to rise to the top of the sport of figure skating with a ferocious determination and athleticism that allowed her to become the first American woman to complete the triple axel in major competitions. That propelled her to victory in the 1991 U.S. Figure Skating Championships and second in the World Championships.
She was expected to battle Nancy Kerrigan for gold in the 1994 Olympic Games in Lillehammer. Of course, Harding is mostly known for the infamy that occurred when her husband, Jeff Gillooly, and a couple of hired thugs tried to incapacitate Kerrigan by breaking her leg. They merely bruised Kerrigan, got caught, and Gillooly turned against his wife as he tried to stay out of jail. Kerrigan wound up winning the silver medal at that Olympics, and the completely distracted Harding finished eighth as her life was circling the drain. As the ensuing scandal unfolded, the USFSA stripped Harding of her 1994 championship and banned her for life.
I, Tonya is being produced by Bryan Unkeless and his Clubhouse Pictures. Robbie also is coming aboard in a producing capacity through her LuckyChap Entertainment banner?.There is no director on I, Tonya yet, but Robbie is taking it upon herself to find a filmmaker to build this project around herself. Financiers also are circling.
Depending on how it?s done, it has the potential to be another To Die For, the Gus Van Sant-directed film that starred Nicole Kidman in a tale of naked ambition and the price for fame. Rogers wrote his script after doing extensive interviews with both Harding and Gillooly, capturing the absurdity of what happened but also the tragic part of the Harding saga, and trying to come from nothing to prominence in a sport where most of the competitors are the children of wealthy families that can afford all the ice time and trainers needed to get to that high a level.

More and more, I find myself liking and respecting Margot Robbie. She got some of the best reviews from The Wolf of Wall Street, and many people are excited to see her Harley Quinn in The Suicide Squad (and it looks like she nailed the part too). If done correctly, playing Tonya Harding could be one of the best and juiciest roles of Margot?s career. It has everything from physical drama, emotional drama, bad hair, a sh-tty marriage and girl-on-girl theatrics. But it has to be handled the right way, or else it will just end up a Lifetime movie. But I?m really happy that Margot is attached and that she?s hellbent on making it the right way. A lot of beautiful young actresses would not want to play a character who is so low-class, you know? But I love that Margot is committed.

Margot Robbie was another one of my favorites at last night?s Oscars. She got to present with Jared Leto (because The Suicide Squad), and for the honor of presenting, Margot was the only woman at the Oscars in Tom Ford. That?s how exclusive Tom Ford is these days, he?ll only dress one person at the Oscars. And he chose Margot. Which? okay? I like her too, and I think she?s got that It Factor, but at the end of the day, this dress probably should have gone to someone like Brie Larson. Still, this is an absolutely gorgeous, sexy dress. I have mixed feelings about Margot?s styling? I think she wanted it to be all about the dress, which is why everything else feels sort of undone. I think they could have figured out a better hairstyle and a better clutch though.
Kate Winslet wore this custom Ralph Lauren ? imagine Kate in that gold Tom Ford. Right? She would have looked great. I actually didn?t hate this RL dress, but it was very, very SHINY. And Kate needs to stop f?king with her face and then lying about it. Her Botoxologist had a field day reworking her face ahead of the Oscars. Just a few weeks ago, her Botox made her look like she had a permanent scowl, and now she?s stuck on ?sleepy.?

Margot Robbie covers the August issue of ELLE to promote Z for Zachariah. She has so many movies in the works, including Tarzan and Suicide Squad. I wasn’t convinced by her Gwen Stefani-esque Harley Quinn costume, but the Comic-Con footage (included below) looks more promising than I expected.
The interview excerpts are pretty sparse so far, but one part sticks out. We talked about how Jared Leto decided to be the most “method” Joker ever and gifted a live rat to Margot. He gave presents to all the cast members to set the mood, and Margot’s rat gift was the most outrageous. Now Margot tells ELLE that she kept the rat as a pet, and they’re very happy together eating from Whole Foods:
On her true age: “People seem outraged that I’m 24. People think I’m a decade older.”
She kept the rat: Several crew members suggested killing it, but Robbie kept the rat because, “If Harley [her character in Suicide Squad] got something from Joker, she’d probably cherish it.” Rat Rat now dines on organic berries from Whole Foods.
She won’t talk about her boyfriend, Tom Ackerly: “He was a third AD, he’s now working as a second AD, and that’s, yeah.”
[From ELLE]
Here’s where things get sketchy. When Jai Courntey promoted Terminator Genisys, he claimed that the rat went to an unlikely owner, director Guillermo del Toro. So someone is making stuff up, and I’m not sure whether it’s Jai or Margot. Jai seems like a jokey guy, but Margot recently claimed to eat four pounds of spaghetti in one sitting. So yeah, I’m a little suspicious of both versions. Who has the rat?
Oh, and Warner Bros. officially released the Suicide Squad sizzle reel from Comic-Con. Margot’s Harley Quinn dominates, but Jared’s Joker makes a late entrance.
