Per Variety, Craig Gillespie has signed on to helm I, Tonya, Robbie’s pet project about the life of former competitive Olympic figure skater Tonya Harding.
Steven Rogers (Love the Coopers) wrote the screenplay for I, Tonya based on hours of interviews with Harding and her ex-husband / alleged accomplice Jeff Gillooly.
I, Tonya doesn’t have a release date or any other cast members just yet, but it’s already one of my most anticipated projects.
Harding has long been portrayed as the villain of the story, as most retellings tend to focus on Kerrigan’s more empathetic perspective and depict Harding in an unkind light.
